Let’s get baking!

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
  • 40 g Parmesan cheese
  • 2 g cayenne powder
  • 1.5 g onion powder
  • 1 g black pepper powder
  • 700 g chicken filet
  • 5 g salt

    • Preparing the Dough: The Foundation of Fluffiness

    The journey to our delicious buns begin extracts with a perfectly crafted dough. This is where the magic starts, and getting this right ensures a light and airy texture.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water (around 40-45°C or 105-115°F – think lukewarm bath water) with the milk. We want it warm enough to activate the yeast but not so hot that it kills it. Stir in the honey and sprinkle the instant yeast over the top. Give it a gentle swirl and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes. You’ll know the yeast is active when it starts to get foamy and bubbly on the surface. This is called proofing the yeast, and it’s a crucial step for a good rise.
  • Once the yeast is proofed, add the egg and sunflower oil to the bowl. Whisk everything together until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. Keep mixing until a shaggy dough starts to form.
  • Now it’s time to knead the dough. If you’re using a stand mixer, knead for about 8-10 minutes on medium speed until the dough is smooth, elastic, and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If you’re kneading by hand, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10-15 minutes. Push the dough away from you with the heels of your hands, fold it over, and repeat. The dough should become smooth and spring back when you gently poke it.
  • Lightly grease a clean bowl with a little oil. Place the kneaded dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides with oil. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size. The warmth of your oven (turned off, of course!) or a sunny windowsill is ideal.

    • Crafting the Dynamite Chicken Filling: The Heart of the Bun

    While our dough is doing its thing, let’s prepare the star of the show – the spicy, cheesy chicken filling. This is where the “dynamite” flavor truly comes to life.

  • Dice the chicken filet into small, bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, season the chicken with the 5g of salt, cayenne powder, onion powder, and black pepper powder. Make sure each piece is coated evenly with the seasonings for maximum flavor.
  • In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 6-8 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces. We want the chicken to be tender and juicy, not dry.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for another minute or two, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and coats the chicken in a delicious, creamy layer. This creates that irresistible cheesy goodness that makes these buns so special. Let the filling cool slightly before assembling the buns.

    • Assembling and Baking: The Grand Finnon-alcoholic ale

    Now that our dough has risen and our filling is ready, it’s time to bring it all together for the final baking stage.

  • Once the dough has doubled in size, gently punch it down to release the air. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into equal portions, depending on how large you want your buns. I usually aim for about 12-16 buns.
  • Take each portion of dough and flatten it into a disc. Place a generous spoonful of the cooled dynamite chicken filling in the center of each disc. Carefully bring the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching them together firmly to seal the bun completely. You want to ensure no filling escapes during baking. Roll each bun gently between your palms to create a smooth, rounded shape.
  • Arrange the assembled buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each one as they will expand further. Cover the buns loosely with plastic wrap and let them rest for another 20-30 minutes while your oven preheats to 190°C (375°F). This second rise helps ensure extra fluffiness. For a lovely golden finish, you can brush the tops of the buns with a beaten egg wash (if you have one egg left over, this is a great use for it!) before baking.
  • Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. The aroma filling your kitchen will be incredible! Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, where the cheese is still delightfully gooey and the chicken filling is bursting with flavor. Enjoy your homemade Cheesy Dynamite Chicken Buns!

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Can I make the chicken filling ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the chicken filling up to a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you plan to assemble and bake the buns.

    What if I don’t have sriracha?

    No worries! You can substitute sriracha with other hot sauces you enjoy, or even a blend of chili garlic sauce and a touch of honey for sweetness. The goal is a spicy, flavorful kick, so adjust to your preference!

    Are these buns very spicy?

    The spiciness can be adjusted to your liking. The recipe uses sriracha, which offers a moderate heat. If you prefer it milder, use less sriracha or omit it entirely and add a pinch of paprika for color and mild flavor. For a spicier experience, increase the sriracha or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
