Ploughman Rolls (a spin on the classic ploughman's sandwich of sharp cheddar and chutney on bread)
Dough Recipe from King Arthur Flour
Makes 12
- 1 cup (227g) water
- 2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast (1 envelope)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (9g) salt
- 1 Tablespoons (14g) sugar
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 cups (300-330g) bread flour
- 2 Tablespoons (21g) plain instant mashed potatoes
Filling
- 16 ounces mango chutney
- 2 scallions, sliced thinly
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
Garnish
2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
In a large bowl or the bucket of your bread machine set on the dough cycle, combine the water, yeast, salt, sugar, and oil. Whisk together 1 cup (120g) of the flour with the potato flour or potato flakes, and add to the water mixture.
Add the remaining flour and mix until a soft dough forms (or start your bread machine). Knead the dough for 6 minutes in a mixer (with the dough hook) at medium speed, or 8 to 10 minutes by hand; it should be quite soft but not stick to your finger when lightly touched. Adjust the dough's consistency by kneading in water or flour by the tablespoon as needed.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 45 to 60 minutes, or until doubled. If using a bread machine, simply let it finish its cycle after checking the dough's consistency.
Deflate the dough and roll it on a lightly floured surface into a 10" x 16" rectangle. Spread the filling over the dough, leaving 1/2" on each of the long sides bare. Roll the dough up from the long side and pinch the edges together.
Using a sharp knife or dental floss, slice the dough into 12 pieces. Space the rolls, cut side up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a 9" x 13" pan. The rolls may seem delicate at this point; that's OK. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let them rise for 20 minutes while you preheat your oven to 350°F.
Once the rolls are puffy, brush the tops with water and sprinkle with white sesame seeds.
Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm with a slice or two of sharp cheddar and an arugula salad.
