Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt, oil, egg, and warm water. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise until doubled in size.

Step 2 – Prepare the Vegetable Base

Roughly chop the vegetables, then pulse them into a coarse mixture (do not over-blend).

Divide the mixture into two portions. Mix one portion with tomato paste, oil, herbs, and seasoning to create a rich and flavorful spread for the dough.

Step 4 – Prepare the Meat Filling

Combine ground meat with the remaining vegetables, spices, and breadcrumbs. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 5 – Shape the Dough

Roll the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the vegetable mixture evenly across the surface.

Step 6 – Cut and Roll

Slice the dough into strips, then roll each strip into a spiral shape. Place them on a baking tray.

Step 7 – Second Rise

Brush with egg wash and let them rest until slightly puffed.

Step 8 – Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) until golden brown and soft.

Step 9 – Optional Meat Patties

For extra protein, shape the meat mixture into small patties and cook them separately until fully done.

Expert Tips 

• Texture Matters: Don’t over-blend the vegetables; keep a little texture for the best mouthfeel.

• Proofing: Ensure the dough rises properly; this is the secret to a "cloud-like" softness.

• Cheesy Twist: Sprinkle some mozzarella inside the swirls for an extra gooey center 🧀.

• Softness Secret: Cover the swirls with a clean towel immediately after baking to trap the steam and keep them soft.

❓ FAQ

• Can I prepare this in advance? 

Yes, you can make the dough and filling a day early and keep them refrigerated.

• Can I freeze them? 

Absolutely! Bake them first, let them cool, and freeze. Just reheat in the oven when ready.

• What makes the dough so soft? 

The combination of egg, oil, and proper resting time ensures the perfect crumb.
