Kimchi is one of those things that I enjoy in so many recipes. These Delicious Kimchi Rolls are one of my favorite ways of enjoying kimchi. They certainly are a fun way of making bread that the whole family can enjoy. They are what I call fusion cuisine. A mix of Asian, Italian, and Canadian recipes.

The Dough for the Delicious Kimchi Rolls

In order to make these delicious kimchi rolls, we need to have a good sought. This is where the Italian comes in. I use the same basic recipe as I do for pizza dough. To make a good dough, we need to let it rise.

• Let’s start by adding 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons of yeast to a bowl.
• To the bowl add 1 cup of warm water.
• Let the yeast rise for about 5 minutes or until it doubles in quantity. The yeast will get bubbly as it blooms.

• Meanwhile, sift three cups of all purpose flour into a large mixing bowl.
• Add to it 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of black sesame seeds.
• Mix them in well.
• Once the yeast has bloomed, add it to the flour. At the same time add 1 tablespoon of sesame seed oil to the bowl as well and mix to form a dough.
• Knead the dough on a clean counter space for about 2-3 minutes or until you get a smooth dough.
• Cover it with a clean damp cloth and let it rise for about 30 mins or until the dough has doubled in size.

The Kimchi

While the dough is rising, let’s prep the kimchi and other ingredients:

• Finely chop 3 cloves of garlic and slice 3 green onions and set them aside.
• Grate 1 cup of marble cheddar cheese and place it in the fridge until ready to use.

Kimchi generally has a lot of liquid in it and you will need to drain it so that your rolls don’t get soggy. Using a sieve, drain all the liquid from two cups of kimchi and set it aside.

• Just draining the liquid isn’t enough. The kimchi is still quite mushy. WE need to “dry” it up a little but more.
• In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and add your garlic to it.
• Once the garlic has been browned, add your drained kimchi to the pan along with the green onions.
• On high heat, cook for about 2-3 minutes. This is to ensure that if there is any liquid left over, it dries up completely.
• Allow it to cool COMPLETELY before you make your rolls.

How do we make Kimchi Rolls?

Now that our ingredients and dough are both ready, we can make our rolls:

• Sprinkle some flour onto a clean dry counter space, and knead your dough for a couple of minutes. This is to remove any air bubbles that might have formed and to smooth out the dough.
• Using a rolling pin, roll the dough so it is about 1/2 cm in thickness.

• Sprinkle the kimchi mix all over the dough spreading evenly.
• Add the grated cheese on top, again ensuring an even distribution.
• Roll the dough to form a log.
• Make sure no filling falls out of the edges. I generally leave a little space on the edges so that the filling has space to spread as we roll.

The Second Rise:

Once you have fille and rolled the dough, we need to let it rise a second time.

• Spread the leftover butter on a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
• Cut the rolled dough into 2 inch rolls and set them into the prepared baking dish.
• Cover with a clean damp cloth and let rise again for about 30 mins. Make sure you leave space between the rollups since they will grow in size.

The Baking Process

Finally, after the rolls have had a chance to rise, we can bake them.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Now place the baking dish onto the middle rack and bake the rolls for about 30-35 minutes. The rolls will brown and what’s more, the whole house will smell heavenly.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.

How do I store my Delicious Kimchi Rolls?

Enjoy the kimchi rolls warm, or keep them in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To warm up, you can always zap them in the microwave for about 30 seconds. You can certainly also reheat them in a toaster oven.

Serving Suggestions:

I love having these fresh out of the oven. I serve them with:

• A fresh cup of Coffee.
• My favourite cup of Chai.
• A spread of my Homemade butter.
