Vegetable Masala Buns/Raw Vegetable Stuffed Pizza Buns

Being a home maker, i always love to bake my own bread at home with easily available ingredients from my pantry. However i have still number of bakes to try,obviously i love to be a part of many baking groups. Unfortunately since ever i started working, i couldnt able to catch up with many baking groups. Somehow few baking challenges are very close to my heart and i never want to give up though life is super busy. One among those baking challenges is We Knead to Bake, a monthly baking event started by Aparna. I have baked many fantastic breads coz of this baking group and its still going on.

This month's bread of We Knead to Bake is this Vegetable Masala Bun, and this bread was suggested by Ankita. I have never baked masala buns with raw vegetables, but my today's vegetable masala buns calls for chopped onions, bellpepper, tomatoes and chopped coriander leaves. Initially i was bit skeptical to give a try somehow i have changed my mind and went with the chopped raw vegetables. And this raw vegetables gets well cooked while baking and this buns smells simply fabulous. We just went on munching this vegetable masala buns as they were extremely addictive. Give a try if you want to make a simple bun to enjoy with your coffee.

Add the pepper powder and mix well, dont add the salt now else the vegetables will leave water.

Punch down the dough and roll it as rectangle shaped disc. Now spread the pizza sauce and add the salt to the already prepared vegetable mix and sprinkle the vegetables on the top of the pizza sauce.

Now top it with the grated cheese. Fold the dough on both sides to bring both edges to the middle to form a log.
