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! 🙂

Aoa fauzia,
I tried these rose rolls yesterday. My electric oven is smaller in size n hence can bakeonly 4 at a time. Meanwhile I shaped all the roses with the rest of the dough. They started to rise and opening up before baking. What do u suggest I shud do? Shape them just before putting in the oven or is there any other way to avoid this problem?
The end result was too good, tasted yummy. It’s just that they didn’t maintain the shape and the outermost layer/Patel was open.

I would not recommend frying
I would not recommend frying these as the shape will not remain the same, plus they will end up being greasy and heavy.
