Bread Cups with Tangy Spicy Corn

Bread Cups with Tangy Spicy Corn

Bread cups is a quick snack or appetizer. This is a fun filled recipe and kids will love this. You can be creative and use any kind of filling-vegetables, spinach,egg, meat or tuna stuffing. I usually make this with less spicy meat filling for my kids lunch box.Here I used a tangy and spicy corn and it is baked in a muffin tin.
The crust is bread dough, but for a quicker version you can cut bread slices into rounds and press down into muffin tins to make the cups.

Ingredients
For the bread

Flour - 2 cup
Yeast - 1 1/2 tsp
Warm water- 3/4 cup
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Sugar- 1 tsp
oil - 2 tsp
melted butter- 2 tsp

For the filling
Frozen Corn kernels- 1 cup
Chopped onion- 1/2 onion
Chopped tomato-1 medium
Garlic- 2 clove
Egg yolk-1
Pepper and salt as per taste
Butter- 1 tsp
Parmesan cheese- 2 tbs
Chopped coriander or parsley

For the bread mix in sugar and warm water and add yeast and set aside for 5-6 minutes till it is frothy. Mix together flour and salt,yeast, oil and butter to knead to form a smooth soft dough. Cover with damp cloth and let it rest to raise for one hour or till it doubles its size.

To make the filling: Heat a pan and add butter followed by chopped garlic and onions.Saute for a minute till the onion slightly changes color. Add tomatoes and saute till  it gets soft. Toss in corn,pepper and salt and mix well and if there is liquid allow it to dry. Remove into a bowl and allow to cool. When it is time for the filling add parmesan cheese, one beaten egg yolk,chopped coriander leaves and mix.

When the dough is ready press down to release the air and smoothen it. Using a rolling pin flatten it into a square. Cut equal 4 1/2 inch  circles.  Grease muffin tin with butter and place each circle and press this one the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup. Place spoonfuls of filling and  bake in 375 degree f  for about 20 minutes. Allow this to cool for a few minutes. Slightly run a knife along the edges and slowly lift out of the muffin tin.
