Bread Pattice: A Healthy, Baked Indo-Chinese Delight

The Bread Pattice is a wonderfully innovative snack that transforms the familiar bread roll into a sophisticated, healthy treat. This recipe, similar in appearance to spring rolls and sometimes called Indo-Chinese Bread Cigars due to its flavour profile, is packed with the goodness of vegetables and soya. Unlike the traditional deep-fried version, this recipe features Baked Veg Bread Rolls, which are significantly healthier and achieve a wonderful crusty finish without excess oil. This makes the pattice a splendid grab-and-go snack that’s also great for kids.

Preparing the Nutrient-Rich Filling

The delicious filling is what sets this bread pattice apart. It begins with preparing the protein: soak the soya granules in enough warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze the water out completely and set them aside. The vegetables are added next. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, then quickly sauté the spring onion whites and greens for 30 seconds. Add the bulkier vegetables—carrots, cabbage, and capsicum—and sauté for another 2 minutes to retain a slight crunch.

Infusing the Indo-Chinese Flavors

To achieve the signature Indo-Chinese flavor, the cooked vegetables are mixed with the proteins and sauces. Add the rehydrated soya granules and chopped boiled noodles to the pan and sauté for 1 more minute. The flavor punch comes from the sauces: add the readily available chilli-garlic sauce and tomato ketchup and sauté for just a few more seconds. Remove the mixture from the flame, then stir in the soy sauce and salt to taste for the final seasoning. The soya sauceprovides the essential umami depth.

Rolling and Sealing the Pattice

To create the perfect cigar shape, start by using fresh whole wheat bread slices. A handy tip is to use fresh bread for pleasing results, or to steam it for 2 minutes if it's slightly stale before rolling. Trim off the edges of the bread slice and roll the bread slice very thinly using a rolling pin. Place a tbsp of the stuffing on one end of the bread and roll it up tightly so as to seal the filling. The tight rolling is key to preventing the filling from escaping during baking. Repeat this process to make 11 more bread pattice.

Baking for the Crusty Finish

Once all the bread pattice are rolled, they are ready for baking. Brush a little melted butter on each bread pattice. This step aids in achieving that desirable crusty finish that mimics a fried roll without the deep-frying. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200∘C (400∘F) for 10 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them until they turn a beautiful golden brown. The baking process is what makes these rolls significantly healthier than their fried counterparts.

Serving the Grab-and-Go Snack

After baking, cool the rolls slightly. For easier consumption, especially for children or as a cocktail snack, cut each roll into 2 equal pieces and serve immediately. Resembling spring rolls, these pattice are completely different to taste—lighter, fresher, and packed with vegetable goodness. Their convenient size and robust flavor make the Bread Pattice an excellent and easy-to-handle snack for any time of the day.

EXCELLENT! A perfect finger food that `Rocks the Party`. Prepare all the pattice in advance & just bake10 minutes before serving. Not only children, even adults loved it. Children as well as elders don?t like soya but these `Bread Pattices `are so tasty that no body really knew the presence of soya. A very very big thanks to Ms Tarla Auntyji for a very healthy as well as tasty yummy Bread Pattice. We loved it! Thanks once again.

If we roll the bread, it breaks. What to do?

As mentioned in the handy tip, the bread used in this has to be extremely fresh or else it should be steamed for 2 minutes before rolling. Also do not put too much pressure while rolling.
