Bake bun without oven


Bun, bread roll and few cakes can be baked in a cooker. The texture and taste of the baked items is very much similar to the oven baked foods. It is also easy to bake in a cooker because the temperature settings required for an oven is simply absent here.
However, it is important to take note of the following points before attempting to bake in a cooker.

1) Do not use non-stick cookers for baking.
2) Remove the rubber gasket from the lid before baking.
3) Do not use the weight while using the cooker for baking.
4) Place a perforated plate or a steel stand inside the cooker and preheat the cooker.(Do not add water to bottom of the cooker) This is give a gap between the bottom of the cooker and the baking dish.
5) Place the baking dish with the dough on the perforated plate or stand. This helps to prevent the food from burning at the bottom.
6) Preheat the empty cooker in high heat and lower the flame once the baking process starts.  




Ingredients: 
Dry yeast -2tsps
Warm water -3tblps
Sugar 3tsps
All-purpose flour -3cups
Salt -1tsp
Warm milk -1cup
Oil -4tsps
Butter -5tblps



Method:
Combine yeast, warm water, 1tsp sugar and 1tsp flour. Set it aside to become creamy and frothy.
In another bowl mix the balance flour and butter to the texture of bread crumbs.
In another bowl combine the warm milk, balance sugar, salt and oil. Then, add the yeast mixture. Mix well. Then, slowly add the flour to make dough of sticky consistency.  Cover and set it aside it to rise. It will triple in volume. Then, deflate and knead once. Allow it rise for two hours. Deflate and knead again.  Then, make small round buns out of this dough and place it in a wide vessel. Place the buns at a distance, so that they do not touch each other when they rise again. Allow it to rise and then place them in the preheated cooker. Bake it till the top of the bun starts changing colour.  Remove and allow it cool before cutting it.
