15 g honey
9 g instant yeast
1 egg
30 ml sunflower oil
600 g flour
8 g salt
25 g butter
Topping:
40 g Parmesan cheese
2 g cayenne powder
1.5 g onion powder
1 g black pepper powder
Chicken Mixture:
700 g chicken fillet, cut into pieces or strips
5 g salt
3 g onion powder
3 g garlic powder
4 g cayenne powder
1.5 g black pepper powder
15 g sambal oelek
10 ml soy sauce
1 egg
Cornstarch Mixture:
150 g cornstarch
2 g salt
1.5 g black pepper powder
3 g onion powder
Sauce:
120 g mayonnaise
75 g chili sauce
20 g sambal oelek
Extra: Milk (for brushing dough)
Instructions
- Warm the milk to 37-40°C. In a bowl, combine warm milk, water, honey, yeast, egg, sunflower oil, flour, salt, and butter. Knead the dough until smooth (10-12 minutes by hand or 8-10 minutes in a mixer).
- Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- In another bowl, mix the chicken pieces with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne powder, black pepper, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and egg. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the cornstarch mixture by combining cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Coat the marinated chicken evenly with this mixture.
- Heat oil to 175°C and fry the coated chicken until golden and fully cooked. Drain on paper towels.
- Roll out the risen dough and divide into 14 portions. Fill each with fried chicken pieces, shape into rolls, and place on a baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with milk. Mix Parmesan, cayenne, onion powder, and black pepper, and sprinkle over the rolls.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until golden and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sambal oelek to make the sauce.
- Serve rolls warm with the sauce on the side or drizzled on top.
Notes
Adjust sambal oelek in chicken and sauce to control spice level.
Add lime juice to the sauce for brightness.
Substitute chicken with turkey or tofu.
Add fresh herbs to the chicken mix for extra flavor.
Try different cheeses for topping variety.
Reheat leftovers in the oven to keep crispiness.
Sauce can be made ahead and stored for up to a week.
Use a thermometer to maintain frying oil temperature.
For less mess, assemble rolls on parchment paper.
Can freeze cooked rolls for up to a month.
