HOMEMADE BUN

Baking bread is a long process but it gives me more drive after it turns out beautifully. Apart from normal sweet bun, baked this with sardine and chili filling. You can adjust the spices used as per your preference. These are so flavorful and soft.

They are great served during breakfast or as a tea time snack. You can use chicken instead  if you're allergic to sardine.
