Ingredients
  

  • For the bread
  • 1 1 and 1/2 tea spns pack active dry yeast
  • 3 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tbl spn butter
  • 1 avocado optional
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbl spn olive oil
  • 1 tea spn honey
  • Salt
  • For the stuffing
  • 2 cups shredded paneer
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tbl spn coriander leaves
  • 1 tea spn freshly made ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tea spn chilli powder
  • 1 tea spn garam masala
  • Oil
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • For stuffing :
  • Heat oil and add onions, ginger-garlic paste, salt.
  • Fry till onions are translucent.
  • Add garam masala, chilli powder and fry for a min.
  • Now add the paneer, coriander leaves and mix well.
  • Let it cool to room temperature.
  • For bread:
  • Take honey and warm water in a bowl and add the yeast.
  • Leave it around for 10mins till yeast gets activated.
  • Now add mashed avocado, softened butter, milk.
  • Add 1 cup flour at a time and mix.
  • Knead till dough comes together in a ball (it will still be sticky). I mix in my KitchenAid stand mixer.
  • Take on a flat surface dust with flour and knead for few minutes.
  • Take oil in the same bowl, keep the dough and move it around to coat with oil.
  • Cover the bowl and leave for about 2 hrs, till it is doubled in volume.
  • Punch the dough to deflate all the air. Knead for a min.
  • Assembling:
  • Roll the dough into a thin (about 1/4") thick rectangle.
  • Spread the stuffing on the bread.
  • Make a tight roll, tightly seal the edge.
  • Cut into 1 and 1/2 to 2 inch pieces.
  • Take a baking dish and apply little oil to it. I also dusted it with a little flour to avoid sticking.
  • Keep the bread pieces one beside the other.
  • Cover and keep it aside for about 1 hr.
  • The rolls would have risen well by now.
  • Preheat the oven at 350F.
  • Brush the rolls with butter or olive oil or milk.
  • Bake the rolls at 350F for about 45mins. (check after about 30mins).
  • Serve hot.

Notes

You can replace 1 cup of all purpose flour with 1 cup of whole wheat flour or multigrain atta. Add 1 tea spn of wheat gluten when using whole wheat or multigrain atta which helps it get fluffy.
