Updated with new pictures on July 30, 2016! You may see that I am in the process of revisiting a few of my old posts and updating lousy pictures on the blog… hehe… though I will be doing the process as and when I have updates to do… I found a tip while baking these rolls – if you get a white top even after the prescribed baking time, turn your gas knob to grill and leave your buns for not more than 3 minutes. You will get a beautiful golden top, like you see in the above pictures. 🙂 You can do the same process while baking puffs too! Hope you like this update… 🙂

Ingredients

• FOR THE DOUGH:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup water
• 3/4 tbsp instant yeast
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1-1/2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp oil
• FOR THE FILLING:
• 50 gm butter
• 2 tbsp garlic paste
• 2 tsp zaatar - dried thyme
• A pinch of salt
• Sesame seeds for sprinkling
• Milk for brushing

Instructions

• First let's prepare the dough. Mix all the ingredients except the oil in a large bowl and knead into a smooth dough.
• Finally knead well again with oil. Cover the bowl with a muslin cloth and keep aside for 1 hour or till it doubles in size.
• Soften the butter. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well until combined. Keep aside.
• Grease an 8 inch cake pan well and set aside.
• Once the dough doubles in size, punch the dough and divide into two balls.
• Flatten one ball into a large rectangular shape.
• Spread the garlic zaatar butter into the center
• Roll the dough to represent a long tube. Cut into four pieces and place in the pan.
• Do the same thing with the remaining dough.
• Keep closed with a muslin cloth for further 20-25 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
• Pull out the pan, sprinkle sesame seeds lavishly and brush lightly with milk.
• Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes till a golden crust develops. Serve warm!!!
