Mix your chosen filling ingredients in a bowl. Ensure meat is cooked and vegetables are softened before stuffing. - Shape the Buns:
Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Flatten each portion into a circle, place a spoonful of filling in the center, and pinch the edges together to seal. - Second Rise:
Place buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for 20–30 minutes. - Bake:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush buns with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown. - Serve:
Enjoy warm as a snack, lunch, or appetizer.
