Stuffed Spicy Potato & Barley Buns

Baking with barley flour is completely new for me, but anyhow i want to start my baking with barley flour as something savoury instead of cakes or something as sweet bakes with barley flour...Voila!!my first baking with barley flour turned out really fantastic and i was really very happy of the final result...Just loved this stuffed spicy potato and barley buns for our evening snacks, initially i want to make out something cheesy but finally i prepared this stuffed potato and barley buns with some spicy potato masala i prepared for our lunch...I combined whole wheat pastry flour and barley flour spiced with pepper powder, dry basil leaves stuffed with spicy potato masala...Even my little one loved this stuffed buns with some salad for his dinner...The flour from barley can be very well used as substitute for cake flour or else for wheat flour,the flour that produced from the whole barley is lot more nutritious than flour from pearl barley....Barley contains almost all vitamins, minerals, amino acida and fiber that our body needs...The flour i brought from organic store is from whole barley and they were really prefect to make out bakes.. These baked buns are really fantastic and delicious..




2cups Whole wheat pastry flour
1cup Barley flour
2tbsp Active dry yeast
1tsp Sugar
1tsp Salt
1cup Luke warm water
3tbsp Olive oil
1/2tsp Pepper powder
1/2tsp Dry basil leaves
1/2cup Potato masala
2tbsp Corn meal (for dusting)

Take a bowl, add the luke warm water, dry yeast, sugar and salt, give a stir and keep aside for 5 minutes in a warm place until the yeast turns foamy...Combine together the whole wheat pastry flour, barley flour,pepper powder, basil leaves in a large bowl, add the foamy yeast,olive oil to the flour and knead as soft dough (add water if needed for kneading)..grease a bowl,place the soft dough and let them sit for 2 hours in a warm place until they double their volume...For the potato masala do check here..




After two hours, knead the dough and make out 6 medium sized balls, sprinkle the corn meal and flatten the dough as disc, place a tablespoon of potato masala, cover the masala completely with a dough, shape the dough as buns..meanwhile preheat the oven to 350F, line a baking sheet over a baking tray and arrange the buns one by one,leave sufficient space in between...Bake this stuffed buns in the middle rack for 25-30minutes until the buns turns golden brown...

Enjoy!!
