Yield: 5
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

First, prepare you filling of choice: I have used a Creamy Chicken Filling. Next we have to 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! :)
