I learned this curry bun in Sam's workshop. He called this "no-time dough method". I guess that is because the dough only need one proofing time. I changed the bun fillings by adding some chicken cubes rather than just only potato cubes so that it won't be too boring for me. Of course you could change your curry recipe instead of using the original recipe as I found the taste quite boring. Somehow, I found sambal chili with onion or chili sardines are quite tasty too!
This recipe could make 10 buns, however, I reduce it to half as there are only two of us.

300g Bread Flour
10g Milk powder
2 tsp Bread improver
20g Sugar
1 tsp Salt

4. Proof the bread till double in bulk, approximately 1 hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 200'C. Brush the surface lightly with egg glaze.
6. Bake at 200'C for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Brush with oil when baked to give a
glossy finish. Decorate wtih lime leaf and sliced chili.

Hi, can I use a breadmaker to knead the dough for this? Do I let it knead for 30 min then take it out to shape (without allowing it to proof yet)? Thanks!
Kellie
Hi Kellie,
Yes, you could use breakmaker to do the kneading. This is a "straight dough method", so it's without 1st or 2nd proofing. Just divide the dough then roll the dough out and wrap 50g of curry potato filling. Shape and place the dough in a baking cup on a baking pan for proofing till double in bulk, approximately 1 hour. Happy baking!
hi..may i ask,this bun can be hold for how long..i mean after its baked and ready to eat, how many days can we keep it until its expired?thanks..nice job however..looks delicious~:)
Hi Jiha,
I shall say the bun good to serve in 24 hours from the time it's finish bake. I've not tried to keep more than that as I afraid the curry filling will expired. But, I suppose the bun will keep well in the freezer with well wrapping. Then reheat in the oven before serve. Cheers!
Hi :)
I stumbled across your blog while looking up polo bao recipes and I've been busy bookmarking recipes to try! If I may ask, what is the "bread improver" that your recipe calls for?
Hi Roo.
When I was first started on learning bread making, I use bread improver but after a while I've been stop using it especially for homemade. Bread improver help to produce softer texture of bread as as longer too.
Hi, as u are saying u stop using the bread improver .. That means we don't have to put the bread improver in this recipe is it ??

Hi Alice,
This recipe ask for bread improver but you can choose not to add any. However, I recommend you to try out the tang thong method which give a better texture without adding improver.
