Homemade Hot Dog Rolls#Bread Bakers

When I kneaded the dough initially used 12 grams fresh yeast, after an hour the dough didn't rise as required (funny part of it is that the yeast bloomed well before adding to the flour ). Added another 8 grams . Then the dough rose a little. The yeast had lost it's power. In the morning when I removed the tray from the fridge the rolls were the same, they did not rise. Thought I would make flat breads with it. Just gave it a chance and brushed them with egg wash. Got busy with the morning chores. 

After about 2 hours had a look at them, they has risen decently. Preheat the oven and baked them. Nevertheless the bread turned out good and the whole house was filled with aroma of the bread as they were baking. We enjoyed these the next day for breakfast.
Makes 5 Hot Dog Rolls
Ingredients 
3 Tablespoons Butter
½ Cup Cold Milk
2 Tablespoons Sugar
¼ Teaspoon Salt
1 Large Egg
20 Grams Fresh Yeast / Hefe
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Egg - for brushing 

Method  
Heat the butter in a large heavy pot. Turn off the heat.
Add the milk, sugar, and salt. Mix well with a wooden spoon until thoroughly dissolved. 

Crack the egg, add to the mixture and mix well. Add the yeast and let it all sit for 2 minutes or till it blooms.
Add  flour and mix well with the wooden spoon for about a minute. The dough will be very sticky.
Cover the pot and let it rise for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
Deflate and knead the dough by hand for 1 to 2 minutes and cover again. Let it rise for 30 minutes.
Deflate and fold the dough for another minute until it makes a smooth dough ball.
Dust the work surface with some flour. Transfer the dough ball to a dusted cutting board and divide into 5 equal size pieces. 

The hot dog roll mould is of four. Make two round bread rolls.
Shape each ball into long hot dog rolls, dust your fingers with some flour so the rolls don’t stick to them.
Let it rise overnight in the refrigerator. 

The next day, remove the pan from the refrigerator and keep it out for at least two hours. I was not sure that I could bake these in the mould, so place them in the baking pan. Then preheat oven to 190° C.
Gently brush the rolls with the egg and bake for 18 minutes until light golden brown.
Brush the remaining egg onto the rolls. Bake another 2 minutes. 

Remove it from the oven and serve hot. We had this with butter and cheese for breakfast.

Kolkata Style Egg Roll / Wrap

When m daughter use to go for her drawing class to a Bengali teacher she would very often prepare Egg Rolls and give the children. My daughter loved them so much that one day she told me to ask her the recipe. This recipe is so simple and quick. We often have this for our dinner. So here's the recipe.
Makes: 4 rolls
Ingredients
4 Plain Whole Wheat Chapatti
4 Eggs
Onion - thinly sliced
1 Capsicum - thinly sliced
2 Green chilies - finely chopped
A juice from 1 lemon or White vinegar to taste
Salt to taste
Tomato ketchup as  required
Mustard sauce as required
Method 

Combine the sliced onions, capsicum, green chillies along with salt, mustard sauce and lemon juice, keep aside.

Beat one egg with salt and pepper in a small bowl (we will beat them one at a time and not all four eggs together)

Heat a skillet, add a teaspoon of oil; pour in the whisked egg into the skillet. Swirl it around so it spreads to the entire skillet surface.
Before the egg starts cooking, place the paratha on the egg and press it gently. Flip the paratha when the egg is done and cook for a few seconds.
Remove the egg paratha from the skillet and place it on a board with the egg side facing up.  

Dot it with ketchup 

Then place the onion, capsicum mixture in the center.  

Wrap up the roll into aluminum foil or grease proof paper to hold it together. Repeat the same procedure for the remaining eggs, parathas and onion mixture. Enjoy !!!

Mutton Kebabs Wraps

Wraps are a delicious and healthy alternative to standard sandwiches and meal. They’re also neat and compact, making them perfect to pack for a lunch in the office or a healthy lunch on the go. These healthy wraps, are also great for a light dinner.

Tortilla Recipe
Ingredients
1 Cup All-purpose flour
1 Cup Wheat Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Oil
1 1/4 cups warm water (approximate)

In a large bowl, blend the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add the water little at a time and mix the dough quickly with your hand until the dough forms a mass. Knead the dough to form soft dough that is no longer sticky. Cover the dough to let it rest for about 10 minutes. Allowing the dough to rest lets any of the liquid absorb into the flour, which will give you a softer tortilla after cooking.

Divide the dough in equal parts accordingly and on a lightly floured surface take one of the dough balls and begin to roll it out just like the thickness of chapatti. Heat a griddle, over medium to medium-high heat place a tortilla cook tortillas for a 1 minute on each side.

For the Filling
Ingredients
Mutton Kebabs
Capsicum sliced
Onion sliced
Tomato sliced
Green chilli finely chopped
salt to taste
1 Teaspoon Vinegar/Lemon juice
Mint Chutney

Method
In a plate place the capsicum, onions,tomato and green chilly, mix well, add salt and vinegar and mix again, keep it aside.

To assemble
Place the tortilla/ wrap on a place. Apply the mint chutney and place the kebab first.  Add the salad on the it. Roll it and serve it immediately.

We had these wraps for our lunch. There were yum and very filling. This was a welcomed change from our regular roti sabzi. You too try it and give your comments. To make it vegetarian you can add a veg kebab.
