Chicken Stuffed Rolls - Easy Recipe

Instructions

1. Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine yeast and a little sugar with lukewarm milk. Let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, salt, and butter until well combined.
3. Add egg and milk: Crack in the egg and lightly beat it. Add the milk-yeast mixture to the flour mixture.
4. Knead the dough: Knead well to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Add a little water if needed.
5. First rise: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 1 hour to double in size.
6. Cook the chicken: Wash and cook the chicken with turmeric, pepper, salt, chili powder, and garam masala until fully cooked.
7. Prepare the chicken filling: Once cooled, debone and mince the chicken.
8. Sauté aromatics: Heat oil in a pan, add ginger and garlic paste, and sauté until fragrant.
9. Sauté vegetables: Add chopped onions and green chilies, sautéing until golden brown.
10. Cook the vegetable mixture: Add potatoes, carrots, and green peas. Cook until the vegetables are tender. (Soak dry peas for 5 hours before cooking).
11. Spice the vegetables: Add turmeric powder, chili powder, chicken masala, pepper powder, garam masala, salt, and curry leaves. Cook until tender.
12. Combine filling: Add the minced chicken to the vegetable mixture and mix well.
13. Finish the filling: Stir in chopped coriander leaves and let the filling cool completely.
14. Divide the dough: After 1 hour, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape into balls.
15. Roll out the dough: Dust a work surface with flour. Roll each dough ball into a slightly elongated, thin shape.
16. Add filling: Place a spoonful of chicken filling at one end of the rolled dough. Add cheese if desired.
17. Shape the rolls: Fold both sides of the dough inwards to enclose the filling and roll up tightly, sealing the edges.
18. Second rise: Place the prepared rolls on a baking tray and cover with a damp cloth. Let proof for 30 minutes.
19. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
20. Egg wash: Beat an egg and gently brush the top of each roll with the egg wash.
21. Add toppings (optional): Sprinkle sesame seeds or Italian mixed spices on top.
22. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
23. Stovetop option: Alternatively, bake in a cooker or heavy-bottomed pot on medium heat, like a cake.
