5
(16-ounce) cans albacore tuna in oil, drained
2/3
cup mayonnaise
1 1/2
teaspoons dried parsley
1 1/2
teaspoons dried summer savory leaves
1 1/2
teaspoons dried dill weed
1
teaspoon garlic salt
1/4
teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4
teaspoon freshly ground Tellicherry peppercorns
1/2
cup Farman's® cucumber
chips, chopped
1. Ricotta
rolls: In an extra large bowl, use a mixer on low
speed
to blend the yeast, sugar, water, oil, salt, cheese and
potato
flour.
2. Measure the
whole wheat flour and the bread flour into a
bowl
and then use your hands to mix a dough, which will be
sticky.
Leave in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
3. Turn oven on to
200°
, turn off as soon as you can feel heat on
your
hand. Place the covered bowl in the oven. Leave the
dough
to rise for 1 hour.
4. Set out 2 baking
sheets, oil lightly or use parchment paper.
5. Punch down the
dough, then pull off two tablespoons of
dough
at a time and roll into rugged little rolls. Place 20 rolls
on
each baking sheet. Let the rolls rise for 1 hour in the warm
oven
or until just doubled.
6. Dill
tuna filling: In a large bowl, mix tuna, mayonnaise,
parsley,
savory, dill weed, garlic salt, paprika, pepper and
cucumber
chips. Cover and refrigerate until rolls are
completely
cooled.
7. Set trays of
rolls on the counter. Preheat the oven to 350°
.
Bake
the rolls for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Set
on
wire racks until completely cooled.
8. Cut the rolls in
half and fill with tuna. Refrigerate on a
large
plate until needed.
Hint: These
rolls also make good dinner rolls or may be
used with a variety of fillings. Brush
with butter and sprinkle
with black caraway seeds (also known as
onion seeds, Nigella,
Charnushka or kalonji). The seeds have
an onion taste and are
well suited to this recipe since it
evolved from a recipe for
Indian Naan bread which is also
delicious with onion seeds.
