Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Cooked quinoa
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Chopped spinach
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced), cooked quinoa, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Roll out each portion into a small circle or oval on a floured surface. Spoon a generous amount of the protein filling into the center of each dough piece.
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them together to seal. Shape into a ball or roll.
Place the stuffed rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the rolls for a golden finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes before serving.
