Turkish Rolls

Recipe through a friend (also a Sana, haha)

1 cup warm water (for proofing yeast, so about 110 degress, or warmed up in the microwave for 1 min)
2 1/4 tsp or 1 pkt yeast
1 cup yogurt (room temp)
1 egg white (room temp)
1/2 cup oil
salt to taste
3-4 cups of flour

warm up the water, proof the yeast. if it gets frothy you know the yeast viable. pour the yeast in a mixing bowl, add yogurt, egg white and oil. mix it up and then add flour by first adding 3 cups and then if its still too sticky adding 2 tbsps at a time until it's a dough-like texture. i always add lots of salt, parsley flakes and garlic powder but the aunty who gave me the recipe doesn't do that. i think it tastes better that way.

make kheema to ur liking, add cheese.

take a small chunk, about the size of a golf ball. roll it out with a rolling pin. add a spoonful of the mixture, pinch it closed. place each on a baking dish and put a smear of egg yolk on top.

bake in oven at 350 until golden brown. about 8-10 mins.


Hi Gals! I just copied and pasted the turkish roll recipe a friend sent. The only adjustments I made was to make the kheema (ground beef) desi style (added a tsp of haldi, dhanya powder, salt, and paprika) plus a couple of tbsp of spaghetti sauce (very optional, I just decided to experiment). Also, in the dough, I added oregano & red pepper flakes because that's what I had on hand. Everyone LOVED it. VERY FILLING! I'm sure future experiments will turn out well too, iA (spinach and feta? spinach and kheema? possibilities are endless)
