Eggless Garlic Zaatar (Thyme) Rolls

It’s already Thursday today!!! I cannot believe myself. I feel that this week has flown by skipping a couple of days in between!! This weekend is devoid of any plans, which is good. I guess then I can twist and tweek it the way I want, InShaAllah… 🙂

 

I have just noticed that for the past few posts, I’ve been only posting desserts or snacks rather than some hard core meals!!! I guess it’s time to break that trend at-least for some time. So after today’s post, hopefully I will post some meals… These garlic rolls are too good… I have taken this recipe from Suhaina’s My Singapore Kitchen, just like how I had done for the Mini Sausage Rolls I posted sometime back. Actually speaking, I lost my fear of working with yeast, once I had made these two recipes from her page. This is also one no-fail good recipe, which I have made a couple of times and have turned out well each time…

Updated with new pictures on July 30, 2016! You may see that I am in the process of revisiting a few of my old posts and updating lousy pictures on the blog… hehe… though I will be doing the process as and when I have updates to do… I found a tip while baking these rolls – if you get a white top even after the prescribed baking time, turn your gas knob to grill and leave your buns for not more than 3 minutes. You will get a beautiful golden top, like you see in the above pictures. 🙂 You can do the same process while baking puffs too! Hope you like this update… 🙂

Author Rafeeda

Ingredients

  • FOR THE DOUGH:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3/4 tbsp instant yeast
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1-1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 50 gm butter
  • 2 tbsp garlic paste
  • 2 tsp zaatar - dried thyme
  • A pinch of salt
  • Sesame seeds for sprinkling
  • Milk for brushing

Instructions

  • First let's prepare the dough. Mix all the ingredients except the oil in a large bowl and knead into a smooth dough.
  • Finally knead well again with oil. Cover the bowl with a muslin cloth and keep aside for 1 hour or till it doubles in size.
  • Soften the butter. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well until combined. Keep aside.
  • Grease an 8 inch cake pan well and set aside.
  • Once the dough doubles in size, punch the dough and divide into two balls.
  • Flatten one ball into a large rectangular shape.
  • Spread the garlic zaatar butter into the center
  • Roll the dough to represent a long tube. Cut into four pieces and place in the pan.
  • Do the same thing with the remaining dough.
  • Keep closed with a muslin cloth for further 20-25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
  • Pull out the pan, sprinkle sesame seeds lavishly and brush lightly with milk.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes till a golden crust develops. Serve warm!!!
