Ingredients You’ll Need
These ingredients are straightforward but essential, each playing a key role in creating the perfect balance of taste, texture, and color in the rolls. From the soft dough to the spiced vegetable filling and melty cheese, everything harmonizes beautifully.
- All-purpose flour: The base of our soft, pliable dough that’s easy to roll out and holds the filling well.
- Oil or melted butter: Adds moisture and richness to the dough for tenderness.
- Salt: Enhances flavor throughout the dough and filling.
- Water: Used to knead the dough just right for softness without stickiness.
- Cumin seeds: Give a subtle, earthy aroma that complements the veggies.
- Ginger-garlic paste: Adds warmth and a savory punch to the filling.
- Onion: Provides sweetness and texture once sautéed softly.
- Capsicum (bell pepper): Adds crunch and a fresh, slightly sweet flavor.
- Carrot: Contributes natural sweetness and vibrant color to the filling.
- Turmeric powder: Brightens the filling with a mild, earthy undertone.
- Red chili powder: Brings just the right amount of heat to balance flavors.
- Garam masala: Adds depth with a warm, aromatic spice blend.
- Tomato ketchup or sauce: Gives a tangy, slightly sweet coating that binds everything together.
- Chopped coriander leaves: Freshens the filling with herbal notes.
- Shredded mozzarella or processed cheese: The star of the show when it comes to melty, creamy indulgence inside our rolls.

- Mixed herbs or chili flakes (optional): Perfect for an extra flavor kick or pretty garnish on top.
How to Make Delicious Baked Veg O Cheese Roll Recipe
Step 1: Make the Soft Dough
Start by mixing the all-purpose flour, salt, and your choice of oil or melted butter in a bowl. Slowly add water and knead everything into a soft, smooth dough—think pliable but not sticky. Cover it up and let it rest for about 20 minutes. This resting step is key to make the dough easier to work with and creates a tender texture when baked.
Step 2: Prepare the Flavorful Vegetable Filling
Heat the oil in a pan and toss in cumin seeds for a fragrant start. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté until the raw smell disappears. Next, add the finely chopped onion and cook it until it softens beautifully. Follow with chopped capsicum and grated carrot—these bring crunch and color that makes every bite interesting.
Step 3: Spice It Up and Bring It All Together
Sprinkle turmeric, red chili powder, and garam masala into the veggies for a warm, spiced punch. Stir in salt to taste and mix in tomato ketchup until the mixture turns slightly dry but flavorful. Finally, fold in the chopped coriander leaves and allow the filling to cool before assembling the rolls. Cooling the filling prevents the dough from becoming soggy when you roll it out.
Step 4: Roll Out the Dough
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray. Divide the rested dough into equal portions and roll each into thin oval shapes. The thinner the dough, the crispier the outer shell of your rolls will be — but be careful not to tear it!
Step 5: Assemble the Rolls
Place a spoonful of the cooled vegetable filling onto each dough oval. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella or processed cheese over the filling for that irresistible melt. Roll the dough tightly around the filling and seal the edges carefully with a little water so nothing escapes during baking. Position each roll seam-side down on the baking tray and brush them lightly with butter or oil for a golden crust.
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
If you like, sprinkle some mixed herbs or chili flakes over the rolls for an extra layer of flavor and a pop of color. Bake them in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until they turn beautifully golden brown. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving so the cheese settles and you don’t burn your mouth on the delicious gooey insides.
How to Serve Delicious Baked Veg O Cheese Roll Recipe
Garnishes
Adding a sprinkle of fresh coriander or a dusting of chili flakes right before serving not only makes your rolls look enticing but adds a fresh, vibrant pop of flavor that elevates every bite.
Side Dishes
These rolls pair wonderfully with classic dips like mint chutney, ketchup, or even a creamy yogurt-based dip. A fresh salad or soup makes for a lighter meal companion, balancing the cheesy richness of the rolls.
Creative Ways to Present
For a fun twist, slice the rolls into bite-sized pinwheels—perfect finger food for parties. You can also serve them alongside a colorful platter of roasted veggies or as part of a snack box for picnics and lunchboxes.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Leftover Delicious Baked Veg O Cheese Rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This way, you can enjoy them as a quick snack or light meal without starting from scratch.
Freezing
If you want to keep them longer, freeze the rolls after baking and cooling thoroughly. Use freezer-safe containers or wrap them tightly in foil and plastic wrap. They can last up to 1 month in the freezer without losing their flavor or texture.
Reheating
Reheat the rolls in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 8–10 minutes to restore their crispy exterior and melty cheese filling. Avoid the microwave if you want to keep the crust crisp and delightful.
FAQs
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Absolutely! Whole wheat flour can be used for a nuttier flavor and added fiber. Just keep in mind the dough might be a bit denser, so you may need to adjust the water quantity slightly.
What kind of cheese works best in this roll?
Mozzarella or processed cheese slices are ideal because they melt smoothly and provide a creamy texture. You can experiment with cheddar for a sharper taste if you like, but mozzarella keeps it classic.
Can I make these rolls vegan?
Yes! Substitute butter with oil and use vegan cheese alternatives. Also, double-check that your bread dough ingredients are free from dairy or eggs to keep it fully vegan-friendly.
How spicy is the filling?
The filling has a gentle warmth thanks to the red chili powder, but it’s not overpowering. You can always adjust the spice level based on your preference by adding less chili powder or skipping the chili flakes garnish.
Can I prepare the dough and filling in advance?
Definitely! The dough can be made and refrigerated for up to a day, while the filling can be prepared and cooled ahead of time. This makes assembly quick and easy whenever you’re ready to bake.

There’s something incredibly satisfying about pulling warm, golden Delicious Baked Veg O Cheese Rolls fresh from the oven and biting into the soft, cheesy filling wrapped in a crisp crust.

Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes to relax the gluten and make rolling easier.
- Cook the Vegetable Filling: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to crackle. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and sauté until fragrant. Add finely chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent. Then add chopped capsicum and grated carrot, cooking briefly to tenderize.
- Spice and Simmer: Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt over the vegetables. Stir well to combine. Mix in tomato ketchup and cook until the mixture dries out slightly, intensifying the flavors. Remove from heat and fold in chopped coriander leaves. Let the filling cool completely before assembly.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Rolls: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment or a silicone mat. Divide the dough into six equal portions and roll each into thin oval shapes suitable for wrapping the filling.
- Assemble the Rolls: Place a spoonful of cooled vegetable filling on each oval, sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella or processed cheese on top. Carefully roll the dough tightly over the filling, sealing the edges with a little water to prevent opening during baking. Position the rolls seam-side down on the prepared tray and brush their surfaces with butter or oil for a golden crust.
- Bake the Rolls: Optionally sprinkle mixed herbs or chili flakes for added flavor and visual appeal. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until they turn golden brown all over. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- Make sure the vegetable filling is cool before assembling to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
- For a crisper crust, brush the rolls with butter instead of oil before baking.
- You can customize the filling with other vegetables like peas or corn as per your preference.
- Use processed cheese for a meltier texture or mozzarella for a stretchier bite.
- These rolls can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best taste.
