Bread Paneer Rolls, How to Make Paneer Bread Rolls

Bread Paneer Rolls are probably the easiest and quickest snack you can make with some bread slices and paneer filling. I make this often with different variations of the filling to make a nice snack for tea time. The bunch of you who wrote to me asking ‘post recipes that we can cook with kids’ or kid-friendly recipes, etc, I am looking right at you. I don’t have kids so I have never really tried this with them but I have a very good feeling about this, trust me you. (Update: I do have a kid now and she LOVES this bread paneer rolls)

Interesting paneer recipes totally float my boat, especially if they are easy to prepare. I saw this recipe in a Nita Mehta book in the library. I didn’t borrow the book and didn’t have anything to quickly note down ingredients and details AND I made this a whole 2 months later. So this is pretty much my own recipe, coming to think of it. What that also means is, you can make it your own by simply adapting, adding, subtracting and testing out your own variations to the paneer filling, or any other filling really, used in this recipe.

Remove the crusts from your bread. Use the regular white bread from the supermarket that’s fresh and soft for best results, although whole wheat or any other kind of bread will work just fine too. Just make sure the bread is as fresh as possible so it is still soft.

Roll out each slice as thin as you can.

Place 1-2 teaspoons of filling on one end of the rolled out bread slice.

Gently yet firmly roll from one end, making sure that the filling stays well within the first turn of the roll.

Repeat with all slices of bread.

Set them aside and keep covered while you work on all the bread slices.

Butter all sides of the bread rolls generously

Lightly fry on a warm pan until the sides are golden brown. Cut into halves and serve warm with more ketchup.
