Hot tuna and corn buns


I need to bake bread more ....

I really knead er need the exercise .....

It was only about 4 minutes of kneading the dough and my left arm was aching , so pathetic ugh !

Since , nobody here but me , I pressed on lol 

Aren't they pretty ?

Soft and fluffy ....



And just delicious ! Er there's cream cheese , of course , everything's better with cream cheese !


Yup , I'm still dreaming about that espresso KitchenAid stand mixer * sigh*


Recipe adapted from Mad about bread

For the dough :

500 grams bread flour ( I used 350 grams bread flour and 150 grams wholewheat flour ) 
1 tsp salt ( scant teaspoon ) 
1 tsp sugar
1 sachet easy-blend dried yeast ( 2 1/4 teaspoons Saf red instant yeast ) 
15 grams butter , melted
300 grams warm water ( plus 2 teaspoons ) 

* In a large bowl , put the flours , salt and sugar and mix well to combine , add in the yeast and mix thoroughly . Make a well in the center and pour in the butter and the water . Use a large spatula or your hands to mix everything together to form a cohesive dough . Transfer dough to a clean surface and knead , until dough is soft and elastic , about 10 minutes or so .

* Place dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl , turning once to coat and cover with plastic wrap and let rise for an hour or until double in size .

* Meanwhile , mix together filling ingredients . Grease a 10-inch round pizza pan .

* Divide dough into 16 equal pieces , roughly 50 grams each . Form each portions into round , cover and let rest for 5 minutes .

* Roll out each ball to about 4 to 5-inch round ; keep finished rounds covered . Divide filling between rounds and seal each dough . Brush all sides with butter and place balls into the pan . Cover slightly with plastic wrap and leave to rise for 45 minutes .

* Preheat oven to 220 °C . Bake the buns for about 15 minutes or until buns are golden . Transfer buns to a wire to cool . Serve hot , warm or at room temperature .


For the filling :

60 grams finely chopped red onion ( 40 grams shallots ) 
40 grams grated carrot
120 grams tuna ( 100 grams ) 
45 grams ( steamed ) fresh sweet corn kernels 
1/4 tsp ground white pepper ( a dash ) 
1/2  tsp salt ( a pinch ) 
2 tsp dried parsley or one heaped tablespoon chopped fresh ( snipped cilantro ) 
a pinch of cayenne or to taste ( 1/8 tsp ) 
a pinch of paprika or to taste ( 1/8 tsp ) 
80 grams crème fraîche ( cream cheese ) 
30 grams melted butter , for brushing

  4. Hi Anne,

    You must have very muscular well toned arms to knead such beautiful bread. I use breadmaker or KA to knead and that's why my arms are the "auntie-wave" kind :p
