Mince Rolls

Cute little pinwheel rolls with a mince filling. They look great and taste even better!
Servings 30 pieces

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. instant yeast
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 4 tbsp oil plus 1 tbsp. butter
  • water and milk half and half

Instructions
 

  • First, sieve the flour and add the salt, baking powder, yeast, oil and butter. Heat the water/milk to lukewarm (very hot water will kill the yeast). Add the water gradually into the flour whilst kneading until you have a soft but firm dough. Knead the dough, pounding it as much as you can to give the buns a delicately soft texture. The more you knead the better the result.
    Put the dough into a lightly-oiled spacious bowl and turn it over in the bowl once so that the little oil covers the dough all over. Cover the bowl with a damp warm towel and let the dough rise for about half an hour to 45 mins.
    Once risen, punch down, and then knead it again for 2-3mins.
    Roll out into a rectangular shape of less than quarter inch thickness. Then add your filling, in this case I've used my favorite mince filling HERE.
    Whip some egg white with a tsp. of water, then drizzle all over the mince. Now roll your rectangle like a swiss roll. Place the whole roll on a greased baking tray, then let it sit for another half an hour until it rises again.
    Brush with egg yolk and bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for 10 minutes. Take the tray out, and using a very sharp knife slice the big roll to form smaller rolls. Put them back on the tray and bake again for about 5-10 minutes. This is to make sure the dough gets done all the way through, and also slicing when the roll is a bit more solid helps get a cleaner cut than if you slice the roll when the dough is still raw.
    Serve and enjoy! 🙂

    1. W/Salaam, best to make and bake it fresh, refrigerating without baking will make the dough yeasty. Otherwise bake half-way, allow them to cool, then wrap them well and freeze until needed. You can then finish off the baking before serving.

    1. Yes. After 10 minutes take the tray out and using a very sharp knife slice the big roll to form smaller rolls. Put them back on the tray and bake again for about another 5-10 minutes.

    1. W/Salaam, you can get about 15-20 rolls total but it depends on how thick or thin you slice them.

  2. Thank-you so much for the
    Thank-you so much for the recipe! 🙂 I tried making the mince rolls and they turned out ok. The only problem that I had was the mice meat mixture (a bit wet) ended up clumping and didn’t allow the spiral design to show. Also when I cut the pieces they ended up being a bit a strange thin oval shape. Not sure what i am doing wrong :S

    1. Thanks! Make sure the mince
      Thanks! Make sure the mince is dry next time. Also I have noticed a serrated knife cuts easier, or use a very very sharp knife to avoid the dough getting smooshed. Did you bake the bread before cutting the strips?

      You can even bake them almost all the way, just cool and wrap them up then when ready to serve allow them to thaw and put them in a hot oven for a few minutes just to freshen them up. Do not freeze them raw.

      I usually knead by hand, measurements will remain the same but be careful not to add all the liquid in one go. Add gradually and use as much as needed to make a soft smooth dough.

      Sorry I never cook/bake in the microwave so am not sure how the temp/time conversions will work out.
