I didn't make that raisin pupkin rolls as we didn't think the sweet rolls would go well with meat... However, I did make many fabulous bread savory rolls today. This is my first attempt to try savory bread and it was really delicious!
========================================= Corn and Cheddar Cheese Loaf (or rolls) From Chef Wan's Sweet Treats
Make 2 loaves OR about 88 VERY tiny rolls (I used four 12-hole mini muffin tins when baking ½ of the quantity and I got 44 rolls, 25gm each roll.)
1 T. active dry yeast (2 pkg. of 7g active dry yeast), or 30 gram fresh yeast ½ cup warm water (I used milk.) 1 cup cornmeal (I used corn flour so the texture is finer than polenta/yellow maize, not the corn starch/us or cornflour in British commonwealth countries.) 2 t. salt 1 T. sugar ½ t. baking soda 2 eggs 1 cup yogurt/sour cream (I have to admit that I only had ssome yogurt left and I added some light sour cream.) ½ cup corn oil/olive oil (I used extra virgin olive oil.) 1 cup creamed sweetcorn 5 cups + extra all-purpose flour (1 cup plain flour for making bread = 5 oz.) 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, grated 2 green chilies, finely chopped (I used 1 t. cayenne pepper powder as I dont' have green chilies in the fridge.) 1 onion, diced and (slowly) fried (with low heat) until golden born extra polenta/yellow maize for sprinkling (optional but you get a nice crunchy texture on the top of the bread)
Allow the yeast dissolve in the warm water, and sugar for 10 minutes until frothy. Add cornmeal, salt and baking soda to the yeast mixture. In a large bowl, place the flour and make a well in the center, add the eggs, yogurt, oil, sweetcorn, cheese, chilies, onion and the yeast mixture. Knead until dough forms. Add extra flour if necessary. (Do not over knead so you can get really light texture of the finished bread.) Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes, then knead again light. Place in a bowl and set aside to prove until double in bulk, about 1.5 hours. Punch down the dough, divide into 2 parts and place each portion in a baking pan. Allow the dough to double in bulk again. Bake in preheated oven at 180C/350F for an hour or until the bottom of the loaves sounds hollow when tapped.
** If make into rolls, the baking time is much shorter, about 25 - 30 minutes.
