Method

1. Warm the water (not very hot, just warm) and add the yeast, sugar and salt in it and mix well.
2. After a minute mix again to make sure the yeast gets properly dissolved.
3. Take the flour in a big bowl and make a dent in the centre and add the mixed yeast water.
4. Knead the dough with olive oil to make a smooth and pliable dough (add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water if water is needed, the dough should not be too stiff and dry, it should be soft, smooth and pliable)
5. Cover the bowl with either a clean wet towel or a cling wrap (wrap the bowl to cover it, not the dough).
6. After an hour,the dough should have raised double in volume. Again knead it little to make it smooth.
7. Divide into 6 equal balls and arrange it with enough gaps in a lined baking tray.
8. Make a small slit on top using a knife to fill the garlic spread. (not very deep)
9. Keep it aside in a warm place for 45 minutes to allow the balls to double in size.
10. Meanwhile make ready the spread, by mixing the butter, garlic and coriander.
11. Pre heat the oven to 180 deg C and fill the spread in the slit made in the dough balls.
12. Bake for 20-25 minutes or till you get golden coloured buns.
13. Just cook till done; over baking makes the buns hard.
