Servings : approx 15 rolls
These pretty rolls are guaranteed to be a hit, they look so pretty it’s almost a shame to eat them! But they don’t just LOOK good they taste amazing too!! Soft buns with a delicious filling, I have used my Creamy Chicken Filling for these, but you can use any filling of your choice. Even crumbled feta and spinach works beautifully!
For a cheesy version, check out my Pizza Roses recipe.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose/plain flour
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 2 tbsp powdered milk (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp oil
- 1 egg (plus one for glazing)
- 1 tsp castor/grinded sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder (to reduce any yeasty smell)
Instructions
First, prepare your filling of choice. Creamy Chicken Filling
Next, prepare the dough. I have used the Chicken Bread dough
In a bowl mix the following ingredients together: 4 cups flour, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. castor sugar, 2 tbsp. milk powder, 1 tbsp. yeast, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 4 tbsp. oil and 1 egg, knead to a medium soft dough with slightly warm water, leave to rise for 1 hour. Divide the dough into 15-16 sections and shape them into neat balls.
Now you can start shaping the Roses. Roll out each ball to about 4″ diameter. Brush a bit of butter on the circle of dough. Make 4 diagonal slits, leaving the center intact. Add your filling in the center. Take one of the sections and cover the side of the filling with it. Take the opposite side’s section and cover the other side of the filling with it. Repeat with the two last sections, pinching the dough on the side to seal it. Repeat until all rose-rolls are ready.

Place the prepared rolls on a greased tray. Pre-heat your oven to 180 C. Brush each rose gently with egg yolk mixed with a tsp. of milk. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until tops are golden and rolls are ready.
Remove and brush them with melted butter. Keep them covered until time of serving so they stay soft.
These can be served as is, with a chutney of choice, or as an accompaniment with any meal or soup.
Enjoy! 🙂
may i no in wat we hav to to grease the tray or can we just place it on a baking paper
Either will be fine.
these look super cute
assalamo alikum,
my sister made those rose buns on eid and they were so yumy… i need to ask if its ok to add yeast after being rised in luke warm milk…what difference it makes to recipe if we pre-rise it or just add it directly(as done in this recipe). thanks
W/Salaam, thanks!! It depends on the type of yeast used. I use instant, so it doesn’t need to be added to liquid. If you’re using active dry then yes you need to add it to warm water to help it get activated.
slms,
i made these rolls for ramadan and they turned out really nice and i was quite impressed with their appearance.just wanted to ask how do i give them a tint of red color so it actually looks like a rose.i mean do i add color to the dough r color it wen they are shaped n just about to go in the oven.
jazakallahukhairun
W/Salaam, thanks! Colour the dough or the water/liquid used when kneading the dough.
I made these but the taste of these roll was so bad… im not talking of the chicken filling inside, it was good…well the bread tasted like eating raw yeast! i wonder why? i left the dough to rise for 1 hr and did as the recipe said so and i used the brand saf instant yeast. Please help!!!what went wrong?
That is so strange, never heard of that happening before. Was the yeast good? Did you test it to check if it was fine? Has it passed the expiration date?
i did half my recipe to 2 cups of flour..and arnd 1/2 tbsp yeast..expiratiom date was 2013 so that was not a problem.. weren’t u suppose to add instant yeast directly to the flour? how do u test yeast?
Yes the yeast is added directly to the flour. But you can test a small amount to see if it is working the way it should. Even yeast that has not reached the expiry period can sometimes not work well. Please read this note. Yeast
AOA Fauzia,
thank you for sharing your recepies, they looks really good, and step by step pictures, makes it easier.
my question to you is, are we supposed to dissolve instatt yeast in warm water before we mix it with other ingredients, please if you can make it clear to me would be very helpful
thank you for your time once again
regards
Khadija
W/Salaam, thank you. Nope, instant yeast is added DIRECTLY into the flour. That is why it is known as instant. Active yeast is the one that needs to be mixed in water.
Fauzia, can i omit milkpowder?..waiting to hear from you.Thanks
Yes you can omit it.
and instead can i knead the dough with warm milk + water?..
Yes you can.
Hiii…i wanted to know if i can make the rolls a day befor th part n keep in th fridge nt freezer in order its soft n little more bakin required..vil it taste as fresh as first day?
Hi, yes you can make them the day before, just bake them three-quarters of the way then remove cool and freeze until needed. When ready to serve, brush them with butter and bake until done.
Salam..thanx alot fauzia for the reply..ur help is a great bless for us..i m always excited to try ur new recipes..so easy yet so delicious..i made th rose rolls yesterday..i didnt put egg..my buns were nt so soft..they were crisp from out n little soft from inside..i vil try thm again inshallah..thankuu soo much for ur recipes..

Yes you can
Salams Fauzia….
I made rose rolls yesterday they are superb…
My hubby & two kids realy love them. Thanks for your reciepies. I have a question for u….
If i keep the dough all over the night is it ok or may be any different in the taste(yeast smell)…?
once again thank u very much….
W/Salaam, overnight is ok, any longer and yes the dough will end up smelling yeasty. Best to bake and freeze then warm up when needed.
