Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup onions
- ½ cup bell peppers
- ½ cup grated cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup grated carrot
- ¼ cup boiled sweet corn
Seasoning and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1–2 green chilies
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
- Mix 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Gradually pour ¾ cup warm milk into the dry ingredients, kneading until a soft dough forms.
- Add 2 tablespoons oil and continue kneading for 6-8 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet and add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds with 1 teaspoon minced garlic.
- Sauté ½ cup chopped onions until translucent, then add ½ cup bell peppers, ¼ cup carrots, and ¼ cup corn.
- Cook the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they soften.
- Season the vegetable mixture with ½ teaspoon garam masala, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and salt to taste.
- Let the vegetable mixture cool, then fold in ½ cup grated cheese.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal-sized balls.
- Roll each ball into an oval shape and spread 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center.
- Roll the dough tightly, sealing the edges to prevent filling from leaking.
- Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking tray and let them rise for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the rolls with 1 tablespoon milk mixed with 1 teaspoon oil for a golden finish.
- Bake the rolls for 18-22 minutes until the tops turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the rolls rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Always use warm (not hot) milk to activate the yeast without killing it, which helps your dough rise perfectly.
- Grate the cheese fresh for maximum flavor and ensure your vegetable filling is cooled completely before adding cheese to prevent soggy rolls.
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with a blend of almond and rice flour, and add xanthan gum to help bind the dough.
- Experiment with different vegetable combinations like zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms to keep the filling exciting and nutritionally diverse.
