 Method for making the buns :

1. Make equal size balls from the dough.

2. Take a dough ball in a hand and with light hands make a cup of the dough as shown in the below picture.

 

3. Now place the filling in the center and seal from all the sides and make a nice plain ball and keep aside. Similarly make for all buns.
4. Place them on the baking tray. I have used the pizza tray.

5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake them till light brown.
6. Once baked brush them with some butter. And let it rest to cool a little and then serve.
