Dear Madhu,

I want to ask a question. Can you spread tomato sauce on one of the circles of dough, and sprinkle grated cheese on the stuffing, so that the end product will taste more like a regular pizza? Will this affect the baking process in any way? Will the end product turn out soggy?

Adavi, you could do that too and that’s called pizza pocket.

Hi!

Amazing blog! I am new to the kitchen and world of cooking, so pl excuse me if my questions are silly.

This particular recipe looks delicious but am not sure what you mean by pre-heat the oven to a certain temprature. What kind of an oven would be required? Any tips on selecting the right equipment for novices like me?

Welcome to my blog Sri. Don’t feel bad about asking questions. I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge.

The oven is preheated to bring the oven’s temperature to the required temperature for baking a particular item. The temperature will vary according to the recipe and will be mentioned. So first you would have to switch on the oven to the particular temperature (for the spicy buns the dial has to be turned to 400F or 200C) for around 15 minutes.

Here in the US the houses are rented with all appliances, so I did’nt have to buy an oven for myself. So I cannot suggest any particular oven. Sorry about that. If you let me know from which place you are I can see if there are any other food blogger friends and you can contact them.

Mansi, I also heard about that from my friend. I think Shilpa’s recipe would be as fluffy as the ones you tasted in Hot Breads. This one was not soft, but very tasty. Instead of having a deep fried samosa with tea, this clearly is a healthier choice. And if you let your imagination to work, you can come up with umpteen number of stuffings both sweet and spicy.

Sushma, It looks fluffy, but it was not very soft like other buns, but the taste was very good indeed. Try them.

Cham, Thanks for the info. about calzones. After reading your comment, I checked out what calzones were. Actually I have seen them in pizzeria menus, but did not care to know what they were.

Siri, Thank you very much. Please visit again.
