Ingredients

Bun ingredients

  • 1 & 3/4 cup Spelt flour
  • 3 tsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Active dry yeast
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 2/3 cup Water

Veggie filling

  • 2 Zucchini (Shredded and chopped)
  • 1/2 Carrot (Shredded)
  • 1/2-1 Onion (Slivered)
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Salt & Pepper (To taste)
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil (For sauteeing veggies)
  • 1 pinch Majoram (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar or Parmesan cheese. (optional but highly recommended)

Instructions

  • Mix all the Bun ingredients in your Kitchen Aid or Ninja if you have a dough blade. (That's what I used)
  • Knead the dough for 4 minutes on a floured surface.
  • Put the dough in a bowl and coat with Olive oil. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is rising, Prepare your veggies. (Shred and Chop)
  • Put your Olive oil in a frying pan and add your veggies, cheese, and spices. Cover to allow them to steam through stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • By this time the dough should be done. Divide the dough into 12-14 equal pieces.
  • Roll each piece into a ball then roll it into a small flat tortilla like piece.
  • Put about a tablespoon of them steamed veggies on the flat dough circle and pull the sides up and pinch together. (There are actual methods, I just winged it. You can too and they'll turn out fine)
  • When you are done filling the buns. Put them in a non-stick pan, or skillet (With the pinched end DOWN) and pour in a half cup of water. Turn the burner on med-low heat and allow to cook until all the water is absorbed into the buns.
  • Remove and enjoy!! These are good leftover too!!
