Servings: 8 rolls
Equipment
- 9" round baking dish
- small bowl
- pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Bridgford Frozen Ready-Dough® thawed
- ½ cup cooked turkey finely cubed; use leftovers or prep your own
- ½ cup prepared and cooked stuffing also called dressing
- 3 tablespoons cranberry sauce
- ¼ cup shredded cheese I recommend Fontina, Provolone, Havarti, mild cheddar, or Monterey Jack cheeses
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking oil by spraying it with cooking oil; set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, cut the thawed loaf into 8 equal pieces. Take one piece and flatten it into a thin circle about 4-5 inches in diameter.
- In the center of the round, place 1 tablespoon turkey, top it with 1 tablespoon stuffing, 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce, and 1-2 teaspoons shredded cheese.
- Bring the edges of the dough together to form a pocket and press them together to seal. Place the ball of filled dough, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish.
- Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. The stuffed rolls will be touching. In a small bowl, add the egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Whip with a fork until the egg mixture is well-mixed throughout. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash on the bread rolls.
- Bake on the middle rack in a preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
I recommend these methods for thawing frozen bread dough:
- Defrost in the fridge overnight for 8-10 hours. Place the frozen loaf on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Spray the baking sheet and underside with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Defrost quickly at room temperature in a few hours. Prepare the frozen dough described above and leave it on the countertop to thaw. When it's thawed, the dough should be cold but soft.
- Top with cheese: sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese (like parmesan cheese) on top of the rolls before baking.
- Add gravy: warm leftover gravy to use as a dip for the rolls, or drizzle warmed gravy over the tops of the rolls before serving.
- Add mashed potatoes: use less stuffing and substitute it with leftover mashed potatoes.
- Garlic Chicken Stuffed Roll: Substitute cooked turkey for chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper, and brush the flattened rolls with garlic butter before stuffing. To make garlic butter, mix 3 tablespoons of melted butter (unsalted butter) with a teaspoon of garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the microwave at 50% heat for 2-3 minutes, or cover with foil, and bake in the oven at 350ºF for 10 minutes.
