Stuffed Bread roll or roller as we Sindhis call it,is a Sunday heavy breakfast.Nothing better than stuffed bread potato rolls on a cold winter morning along with a cup of hot tea.
Fried sausage shaped spicy potato sandwiches. It is a treat to taste buds.It is great for a kitty party, tea time snack for guests who drop in with less time. Great way of using left over bread or potato mash. You can also make it for birthday parties. You can have it as a snack or as a meal with soup. They are a great combination with pakoras. After all, you need to fry both. Why not make the most of the chance. Both are a winner. Nowadays frying is very minimal in my household. I love my air fryer as it saves time and uses minimal oil. Hence, I have updated both the pakora and the recipe below for the air fried versions.

Roller also has a good crunchy outer with soft potato filling inside. This makes it heavier. Thus, make it easier to fill stomach. When IPL is on so this is a great starter with cold drinks and some caramel popcorn.It is a time to sit together and enjoy the match!
You can also make them when you go for a picnic. This recipe is easy to make. They can be eaten warm or at room temperature. Eat the crispy bread roll with spicy tomato sauce or mayonnaise. If you make them spicy, simple tea would do. You will not need another dip with it.

How to make bread roll in air fryer?
Repeat the above step for all the slices and make the bread rolls. The balls will expand once they get air fried so make sure the edges are closed properly. If not done correctly, the stuffing will pop out.
Place the stuffed rollers in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 190 deg C for 20-22 mins brushing oil in between 2-3 times. Grill 4-5 mins after that.
You can also choose to make the bread roll with brown bread, they give better results as they retain the shape better than white bread.
