Ingredients

• 500 grams Gluten-free flour blend
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 250 ml Warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
• 2 large Eggs
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 300 grams Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 30 grams Butter
• 30 ml Milk (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the eggs and add warm water and olive oil. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly stickier than traditional wheat doughs.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

For the filling: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent.

Step 6

Add minced garlic to the onion and sauté for another minute.

Step 7

Add the shredded chicken, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in chopped parsley. Allow to cool.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 9

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.

Step 10

Flatten each portion into a circle. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling in the center and gather the edges to enclose the filling, forming a bun.

Step 11

Place the buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, seam side down.

Step 12

Brush the buns with milk to help them brown.

Step 13

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
