  • 1 pinch Ground ginger
  • 1 pinch Black pepper
  • 1 pinch Garlic powder
  • 1 pinch Curry powder
  • 1 c. à soupe Olive oil or sunflower oil (for cooking the chicken)
  • 250 g Potatoes (boiled with skin, slightly firm)
  • 100 g Mozzarella (grated or diced)

  • 2 c. à soupe Oil (for the dough)
  • 1 c. à café Salt (for the dough)
  • 1 c. à café Sugar
  • 6 g Dry baker's yeast (if you use fresh yeast, double the amount)
  • 360 ml Warm water (about 35‑40°C)
  • 20 g Salted butter (to brush at the end, mixed with parsley)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the stuffing – cooking the chicken

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, sauté 2‑3 minutes. Add the ground chicken, the spices (salt, ginger, pepper, garlic powder, curry) and cook until the chicken is fully cooked, about 5‑10 minutes.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: feu moyen

  2. Add the potatoes and cheese

    Add the pre‑cooked potatoes cut into small dice, the grated mozzarella and the chopped parsley. Mix quickly while the mixture is still hot, then transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.

    Time: PT10M

  3. Prepare the dough

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, semolina, salt, sugar and dry yeast. Add the 2 tbsp oil then the warm water. Knead by hand or with a stand mixer for 5‑8 minutes until you obtain a smooth and elastic dough.

    Time: PT15M

  4. First rise

    Shape the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume, about 55 minutes.

    Time: PT55M

  5. Divide and degas the dough

    After the rise, gently press the dough to release air. Weigh portions of 70 g each and form balls.

    Time: PT10M

  6. Shape the stuffed rolls

    Flatten each ball into a disc about 1 cm thick, place a spoonful of stuffing in the centre, fold the edges and seal into a well‑closed ball.

    Time: PT10M

  7. Short rest of shaped rolls

    Place the formed balls on the work surface, cover with plastic wrap and let rest 2‑3 minutes before cooking.

    Time: PT3M

  8. Pan cooking

    Heat a thick pan over medium‑low heat, add a drizzle of oil. Place 3 rolls at a time, cook 20 s each side, turn 2‑3 times to even the colour. Add a little salted butter and parsley at the end of cooking, then transfer the rolls onto paper towels.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: feu moyen‑doux

  9. Finishing and serving

    Brush each roll with a mixture of salted butter and parsley, let rest 1 minute, then serve hot.

    Time: PT2M
