SAVORY BUNS RECIPE | GARLIC BUNS

    After the successful attempt of baking Eggless choc chip muffin in my new oven i wanted to try something snack to pair with the evening tea. Without any second thought i attempted Savoury buns, which i got inspired from Bharathy of Spicy Chilly. When i saw them in Rak's space with the replacement of olive oil in the place of butter i tried it out from there with a small alteration. It turned out so well and i used only the all purpose flour ,you can replace half portion with wheat flour too.
