Note:

• I actually wanted to try basic bread but suddenly I got this idea of stuffed bread.
• So I add more sugar to the bread flour. But my husband said that it would be more tasty if the sugar level is less. So I have reduced the sugar quantity in this recipe.
• The stuffing can be anything like meat or cheese or any veggies and greens according to our taste.
• I have made it little thicker. But I feel if it is more thin we can enjoy the stuffing taste more.
