AIR FRYER RECIPE : TUNA CHEESE BUNS / HOW TO MAKE TUNA BUNS IN AIR FRYER

TUNA CHEESE BUNS 

 

Soft and fluffy homemade buns that are great for breakfast and snacks. 

 

Ingredients: 

Dough 1: 

- 1/4 cup bread flour 

- 1/4 cup warm milk (110deg) 

- 1 ¼ tsp instant dry yeast 

- 1/2 tsp sugar 

 

Dough 2:

- 1 ¾ cup bread flour 

- 5 tbsp unsalted melted butter 

- 1/2 tsp salt 

- 1 whole egg 

- 1/4 cup milk 

- 2 tbsp sugar 

 

Filling: 

- 2 tbsp mayonnaise 

- 2 cans of tuna (brine sandwich) 

- sprinkle of salt and black pepper to taste 

- mozzarella cheese 

 

Egg wash: 

- 1 whole egg 

- 2 tbsp milk

 

Cooking time: 

Airfryer : 15-17 mins at 130deg 

 

Notes: 

- preheated my air fryer for 5 mins. 

-too much mayonnaise, resulted to watery filling 

-drain and remove excess water of tuna 

-dough 1, let it rest for 30 mins 

-dough 2, let it rest for 1 hour 

-after shaping, let the buns rest for 30 mins to 1 hour 

-to avoid too much flour, at initial mix, you may reduce about 2 tbsp of flour. if you find your dough is still sticky, then add flour in portions. Because sometimes, we made mistakes in weighing ingredients, especially those who are using cups, just like me. 

-storage of the buns: 2 days at room temperature 4-5 days at the refrigerator 

**I prefer keeping it in the fridge, because of the mayonnaise. 

-this recipe can make 16 yields of buns.
