Garlic Buns | Eggless Baking

Garlic bun


As i have mentioned earlier i love to bake more,i never thought one day i would try a bun/bread at home and it will come success.First i thank God almighty for giving me the courage& wisdom to do so,secondly i thank all co-bloggers post about it,their step by step procedure,tips all helped me.

 Also for this month egg less baking challenge,Gayathiri has announced to bake dinner rolls,first i thought how i am going to do it,baking a bread.bun would be a disaster.Then decided first lets try a bun and then confidently try other dinner rolls.Coming to the recipe i tried this from Raks Kitchen and the result was absolutely wonderful.When i checked for the yeast ,water become forthy then i was little confident that the buns would come good.
