Spicy Stuffed Dinner Rolls

P1050862

Hi.

Today morning was quite depressing as I woke up with a spitting headache and the outside weather was even more depressing as it was foggy, with a visibility of about 5 meters. I just made some Maggi with veggies for me and S and after sending him off to office I was wondering what to cook for lunch.. but just did not feel like getting up and cooking. I wanted to recharge myself in someway but today was not the day. I read my post on feel good hormones here and here and I felt a little better. After cooking some stuffed paratha for the younger one I felt much better so I decided to bake.

And I must say, I am elated after making these rolls and why should I not be? Every time I work with yeast it turns out to be most happening and satisfying experience, an experience that I look forward to. The aroma of freshly baked bread in the kitchen is always heavenly and I was missing it so much..  I have always found baking a bread therapeutic in cheering me, what’s your take on that?

The roll turned out scrumptious with a feather light sponge and an absolutely tasty and spicy filling, just perfect to make me feel at the top of the world.

 

I was quite excited in using the new entry into my kitchen the Very Hot Peri Peri sauce, this is a South African  sauce and is available in various categories but I opted for the very hot. If you get a chance to visit Inorbit Mall in Malad, Mumbai, do visit the Nando’s Peri Peri Restaurant.

3-4 spring onion whites

2 spring onion greens

2 tsp. very hot peri peri sauce

1/3 cup sweet corn

1/3 cup frozen peas/ blanched peas

100gms cottage cheese cubed

salt to taste

1 tsp. chilli pwd.

1 tsp. coriander pwd.

For the Dough

Proof the yeast in luke warm water and sugar.

Heat the milk luke warm and add the butter to it.

In a food processor jar with the kneading attachment, take the APF, salt. Add the yeast solution and milk gradually and knead for about 2 mins.

Remove on the dusted floor and knead more for about 5-6 mins to produce the gluten. The dough is sticky so keep dusting your hands but avoid adding flour to the dough else you will land up having a dense roll.

Grease a bowl and the dough, cover it with a cling film and rest it in  a warm place, let it double in volume. You can check this in detail here. Meanwhile make the filling.

Punch down the dough and roll it into a square shape on a dusted floor and cut it into 8 equal parts.

Fill each part with 2-3 tsp. of  filling and close it from all sides and shape it like a ball.

P1050838

Place the balls on a greased baking tray, cover it with a cling film and let it double in volume.

  20. I totally agree with you when you say that baking with yeast is therapeutic. I guess there's something about punching the dough that makes you feel relaxed ;)I baked a brown bread today and I felt totally elated after that. BTW your rolls are just perfect. Simply superb :)

    Chaitali

  46. Hi!
    Dear Chaitali, thanks for the lovely comment.
    You can proof the yeast in the milk itself with the sugar, just take half a cup milk, sugar and lukewarm it, add yeast and let it froth. Hope this helps.
    Keep visiting :-)
