Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 10 grams Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 250 milliliters Warm water
• 100 milliliters Low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 300 grams Chicken breast
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water, low-fat milk, and olive oil, mixing continuously until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the chicken filling. Dice the chicken breast into small pieces.

Step 6

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic in a small amount of olive oil until soft.

Step 7

Add the diced chicken and cook until it is no longer pink. Add the grated carrot, low-sodium soy sauce, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the chicken mixture from the heat and let it cool.

Step 9

After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.

Step 10

Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a circle. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center, then gather the edges and pinch them together to seal.

Step 11

Place the filled buns seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the buns. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 13

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 14

Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
