Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 75 ml water
  • 200 ml milk
  • 15 g honey
  • 9 g instant yeast
  • 1 egg
  • 30 ml sunflower oil
  • 600 g flour
  • 8 g salt
  • 25 g butter

Topping Ingredients

  • 40 g Parmesan cheese
  • 2 g cayenne powder
  • 1.5 g onion powder
  • 1 g black pepper powder

Chicken Filling Ingredients

  • 700 g chicken filet
  • 5 g salt
  • 3 g onion powder
  • 3 g garlic powder
  • 4 g cayenne powder
  • 1.5 g black pepper powder
  • 15 g sambal oelek
  • 10 ml soy sauce
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the water, milk, honey, and instant yeast. Let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast activates and becomes frothy. Then add the egg, sunflower oil, flour, and salt. Knead the mixture until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Incorporate the butter in small pieces and continue kneading until fully absorbed. Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  2. Prepare the chicken mixture: Finely dice or mince the chicken filet. In a bowl, combine the chicken with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne powder, black pepper powder, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and the egg. Mix thoroughly to form a well-seasoned chicken filling.
  3. Shape the buns: After the dough has risen, punch it down to release air and divide it into 14 equal portions. Flatten each piece slightly and place a generous amount of the chicken mixture in the center. Wrap the dough fully around the filling, pinching the edges to seal the bun tightly. Place the buns seam side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. Add the topping: In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, cayenne powder, onion powder, and black pepper powder. Sprinkle the spicy cheesy topping evenly over each bun to add flavor and texture.
  5. Final rise and baking: Allow the buns to proof again for about 20-30 minutes until slightly puffed. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake the buns for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. The filling should be hot and the dough fully baked.
  6. Serve warm: Remove the buns from the oven and let cool slightly on a rack. Serve warm to enjoy the gooey cheesy topping combined with the spicy chicken filling inside soft, fluffy buns.

Notes

  • Ensure the yeast is fresh for proper rise of the dough.
  • Adjust the amount of cayenne powder and sambal oelek to your spice preference.
  • You can substitute sunflower oil with any neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil.
  • Make sure to seal the buns well to avoid filling leaking during baking.
  • Leftover buns can be reheated in the oven for best texture.
