I don’t even know how I came up with this recipe, all I know is that my brother has been talking too much about lamb rolls!
Instructions:
Dough:
- Activate yeast (1 tsp yeast and 1 tsp sugar in a bowl with 180ml warm water)
- Mix and leave 10-15 minutes till foamy
- Mix 250g flour and 1tsp salt
- Add yeast and 15ml olive oil
- Mix into dough
- Knead 8–10 minutes (until soft and smooth)
- Cover and let it rise 1 hour (should double in size)
- Once risen, roll into a rectangle. Not too thick (important cause if too thick then too bready)
Lamb:
- Remove bones from the lamb shoulder (i used 350g lamb after removing bones)
- Cut meat into small pieces (important)
- Heat pan with olive oil
- Add 1 chopped onion and 2 garlic cloves
- Cook until soft and then add lamb
- Season with 1tsp salt, 1/2tsp black pepper, 1tsp cayenne, 1/2tsp cumin
- Cook for a few minutes like 5 minutes
- Add maybe around 50ml of water
- Cover and cook for 10–15 minutes. This makes it tender and juicy.
- Uncover and let water evaporate slightly. You want juicy, NOT watery.
- Add 1 tbsp butter and 1 tsp honey and cook slightly.
- Taste it (adjust salt!)
Assemble & Bake:
- Add Arla mozzarella slices on dough.

- Spread lamb evenly. Don’t overfill (or it’ll explode lol).
- Roll into a tight log (tight!! if not tight everything will fall off).
- Cut into slices (3–4cm thick).
- Place on tray (swirl facing up).
- Leave space between them.
- Brush with egg wash.
- Bake at 180°C for 20–25 minutes or until golden on top and slightly crispy edges.
- Garnish with parsley and pair with yogurt (trust me it suits it so much).
