Eggless Chikenduza
HB-0842 · Hand-built original · Zimbabwean
Main ingredient: all-purpose flour
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (curd)
- 1/2 cup warm milk, plus more if needed
- 2 tsp vanilla essence, divided (1 tsp for the dough, 1 tsp for the icing)
- 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
- 2 to 3 Tbsp milk, for the icing
- A few drops pink food colouring
Method
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a large bowl.
- Stir in the melted butter, yogurt, warm milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to form a soft dough, adding a spoonful more milk if it feels dry.
- Knead for 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled.
- Divide the dough into 10 to 12 equal pieces and shape each into a smooth round bun. Place on a lined baking tray, cover, and proof for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Bake the buns for 18 to 22 minutes, until risen and lightly golden. Cool on a rack.
- Whisk the icing sugar with the milk, remaining vanilla and pink colouring to make a thick, spreadable pink icing.
- Dip the top of each cooled bun in the icing, turn upright, and leave for 20 to 30 minutes for the icing to set before serving.
