I did not have the idea of making this in the pan ,till all was set to go into the oven.Yes, i
wanted to make fish buns for dinner. I have made pan pizza successfully before,but still i
was a little hesitant ,and made just one for a sample,and tasted.It was really awesome,
very soft and fluffy.I took the time and made one by one in my egg frying pan,and it was
more than worth the try and time. So now i’m really excited to share the recipe .

allow to rest for another 20 minutes.Divide into portions (makes 12).Flatten the dough
and keep filling inside ,seal the edges ,and flatten again with your palm.(use flour for
rolling ).Heat pan ,put the flattened dough and cover with a lid,and cook on a slow flame.
