Ingredients

For two rolls, you will need:
- 200 g beetroot
- 200 g red cabbage
- 200 g carrots
- 1 kg champignon mushrooms
- 200 g celery
- 1 large bell pepper (at least 100 g)
- 2 low-fat yogurts
- 2 eggs
- 1 packet of dry yeast
- Flour, as needed (approximately 250 g)
- Oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste

Necessary Utensils

- Frying pan
- Mixing bowl
- Baking tray
- Baking paper (optional)
- Grater or knife for vegetables

Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Preparing the Vegetables: Start by washing all the vegetables very well. This is an important step as you want to ensure there are no impurities. Cut the beetroot, red cabbage, carrots, and celery into small cubes. The mushrooms can be sliced thinly, and the bell pepper should be cut into pieces.

2. Sautéing the Vegetables: Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan. Add the chopped vegetables: bell pepper, celery, mushrooms, carrots, and beetroot. Sauté them quickly over medium heat, stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste. It is important not to cook them too much so that they retain their crunchy texture.

3. Preparing the Dough: In a bowl, combine the two low-fat yogurts, the two eggs, and the dry yeast. Mix well, then gradually add flour until you obtain a soft dough that does not stick to your hands. You can use a spatula or a mixer to incorporate the ingredients.

4. Forming the Dough Sheets: Divide the dough into two equal parts. On a floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a thin sheet, about 0.5 cm thick. Use a rolling pin to achieve an even shape.

5. Filling the Rolls: Allow the sautéed vegetables to cool completely. Then, evenly distribute the vegetables on each sheet of dough, leaving a little space at the edges. Carefully roll each sheet, starting from one end, and make sure the filling stays well wrapped.

6. Baking the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the rolls in the baking tray lined with baking paper (if desired) and bake for 40 minutes, until they become golden and crispy.

Personal Note

For an even more intense flavor, you can add herbs to the vegetables, such as oregano or basil. Additionally, serving with a yogurt sauce with garlic and dill will turn the roll into a true feast!
