Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
• 1 cup Cooked quinoa
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Chopped spinach
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced), cooked quinoa, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 8

Roll out each portion into a small circle or oval on a floured surface. Spoon a generous amount of the protein filling into the center of each dough piece.

Step 9

Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them together to seal. Shape into a ball or roll.

Step 10

Place the stuffed rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.

Step 11

Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the rolls for a golden finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 12

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes before serving.
