No , if you have kneaded in the mixer for 5-7 minutes, then just smoothening out the dough on the counter is all that is needed. Or else knead half way in the mixer and the remaining by hand till the dough is elastic and smooth. Do not over knead.

Since these are stuffed with vegetables, consume the buns right away or maximum till the following day. Cover them with cling wrap or pack them in ziplock before placing them in the fridge if consuming the following day. Before serving, lightly heat the buns in a microwave oven.

Its been ages since I’ve baked vegetable stuffed buns. I use to make them often as a picnic snack when the kids were growing up. Like your small batch recipe. The buns looks so inviting.

I always felt bread recipes were so hard to do. This was one of the best and so easy to make especially when it is so filling and tasty.
