Ingrediënten
Use warm water, not hot. Water around 37°C – 40°C (98°F – 104°F) helps activate the yeast without killing it.
Knead the dough well—at least 10 minutes—for a light and airy texture.
Don’t skip the second rise. This helps create fluffier rolls with a better structure.
Pat the shrimp dry before cooking to prevent excess moisture and ensure a nice sear. Shrimp cook in just 2-3 minutes—overcooking will make them tough.
A fresh yogurt-garlic sauce or a spicy harissa-mayo pairs perfectly with these rolls.

Stappenplan
1 In a bowl, mix the lukewarm water, yeast, and honey. Let it sit for 5 minutes. |
2 Add the yogurt and herb cream cheese, then mix well. Add the flour and salt, then knead for 10-12 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour in a warm spot, or until doubled in size. |
3 Deflate the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces of about 65 g each. Shape them into balls. |
4 Take one ball and flatten it into a circle. |
5 Roll the dough into a log. |
6 Seal the ends tightly and roll the dough back and forth to create an even shape. |
7 Flatten the log with a rolling pin. |
8 Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with a beaten egg, make a small cut in the center, and sprinkle with chopped fresh chives. |
9 Let rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (400 °F) for 12-18 minutes until golden brown. |
10 Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp, salt, cayenne powder, ras el hanout, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, and parsley. Cook for 2-3 minutes. |
11 Slice open the rolls and fill them with lettuce, cooked shrimp, and a sauce of your choice. |
