Where to find ingredients
You can find instant yeast and margarine in most Indian supermarkets. Potatoes and eggs are staple items readily available everywhere. Prato cheese is a type of white, semi-hard cheese; look for it in larger grocery stores or delis that stock imported cheeses. If Prato cheese is unavailable, a good quality mozzarella or processed cheese slice can be used as a substitute. Wheat flour is a common pantry staple, sold in all grocery stores.
Preparation method
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl
- Knead the dough well until it becomes smooth and soft
- Cover the dough and let it rest until doubled in volume
- Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into rolls
- Place a piece of cheese inside each roll and seal well
- Arrange the rolls on a baking tray and let them rise again
- Brush an egg yolk over the surface of the rolls
- Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown
Observations
A practical, homemade recipe, perfect for a snack or afternoon tea. The secret lies in getting the dough right and allowing enough resting time to ensure wonderfully fluffy loaves.
