Servings : 15-16 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!
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 1 for glazing)
- 1 tsp. castor/grinded sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder (to reduce any yeasty smell)
Instructions
For a cheesy version, check out my Pizza Roses recipe.
First, prepare you filling of choice: Creamy Chicken Filling
Next prepare the dough.
In a bowl mix together the following ingredients: 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.
STEP 1: Divide the dough into 15-16 sections and shape them into neat balls.
STEP 2: Now you can start shaping the Roses. Roll out each ball to about 4″ diameter.
STEP 3: Brush a bit of butter on the circle of dough. Make 4 diagonal slits, leaving the center intact.
STEP 4: Add your filling in the center.
STEP 5: Take one of the sections and cover the side of the filling with it.
STEP 6: Take the opposite side’s section and cover the other side of the filling with it.
STEP 7 & 8: Repeat with the two last sections.
STEP 9: Pinch the dough on the side to seal it.
Repeat until all rose-rolls are ready.
STEP 10: Place the prepared rolls on a greased tray.
STEP 11: Pre-heat your oven to 180 C. Brush each rose gently with egg yolk mixed with a tsp. of milk. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until tops are golden and rolls are ready.
STEP 12: 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! 🙂
Mashaallah…….! I got to knw u recently,bt u really superb…..! While baking is al oven temperature vil b same,y cz I had made ,bt it becomes hard,so plz help me……
Did you remember to preheat the oven? Sounds like your rolls got overbaked.
I tried these..!! turned out amazing!! Ma sha Allah you are superb!! 🙂
I have a question… Can i make them into smaller sizes??…using the same quantity…
or will it affect the baking?? if the sizes are small..
🙂
Thanks! Yes that is perfectly ok, you can make them smaller. They will bake slightly faster than the bigger ones so keep an eye on them as they bake.
Tried a couple of your recipes, absolutely delicious.
Fauzia i tried the rose rolls today…the dough was a bit sticky, tnx u so much
Aslm……. Can i use dry yeast ? N bake them in microwave ?

W/Salaam, yes you can use dry yeast but please read this note on how to activate dry yeast: Yeast
Have never used the microwave for baking, so cannot help there.

Hi sis…..can i use lactogen powder for de milk powder in dis recipe ??n can i use microwave oven fr baking????n can u pls share some sweet fillng vid us fr dis recipe…..pls kindly rply…..thanks
Hi, isn’t lactogen baby formula? If so then NO do not use that, better to omit the ingredient if you do not have it at home. I never bake in the microwave so cannot know how that will turn out. Step by step photo link is included in the recipe.
nys:)
apu, is there any way to preserve rose rolls in refrigerator??
Bake and refrigerate…warm them up when you will be serving them. If storing them for longer than a day, pack them well and freeze.
This is very lovely
