Make the Dough:
Mix yeast, sugar, and warm milk. Let sit until foamy (5–10 min).
In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mix, egg, and softened butter.
Knead for 7–10 minutes until smooth. Cover and rise until doubled (1 hour).
Prepare the Filling:
Mix all the seafood, cream cheese, herbs, lemon zest, and seasoning.
You want it to be creamy and spreadable, but not too runny — adjust mayo/cream cheese as needed.
Assemble the Rolls:
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle (about 10x14 inches).
Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
Roll it up like a jelly roll (tightly but gently), then slice into 8–10 even pieces.
Place rolls cut-side up in a greased baking dish or spaced on a tray.
Second Rise:
Let the shaped rolls rise again for ~30 minutes.
Bake:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with seeds or cheese/herbs.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and puffed.
Serve:
Best warm or room temp.
Serve with lemon wedges, a dill-yogurt dip, or a touch of horseradish cream.
🔥 Variations & Add-ons:
Add sautéed onions or leeks to the filling.
Spice it up with a bit of Old Bay seasoning or cayenne.
Turn it into pull-apart rolls in a round dish for a party centerpiece.
Would you prefer it more like a brioche-style bun with filling inside (like a stuffed center), or a rolled-up swirl like cinnamon rolls but savory? I can tweak it for either style!
