Preparation
- For the Dough: Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp instant dry yeast and 1 tbsp sugar with 125ml warm milk. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture, whisked egg (reserving 1 tbsp for glazing), and unsalted butter/margarine to the flour mixture.
- Mix until the dough comes together, then knead it for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- For the Filling: Cook the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent.
- Add the grated carrot and green onion and sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Chicken Filling: Stir in 1 tsp plain flour and cook for a minute.
- Gradually add 1 cup milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.
- Add the shredded chicken, seasoning (salt, pepper, chili flakes, parsley, turmeric), and cook until the filling is well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Stir in shredded cheese.
- Assemble the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a small circle.
- Place a spoonful of the filling in the center and gather the edges to seal. Shape into a roll.
- Place the filled rolls seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Cover and let rise for another 20-30 minutes.
- Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Brush the rolls with the reserved whisked egg for glazing.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
