Palingbroodjes - Smoked eel rolls

Makes 10 rolls.

• 250 g flour
  
• 150 ml milk
  
• 20 g butter
  
• 1 sachet dried yeast (7 grams)
  
• salt
  
• 100 g smoked eel fillets
  
• 1 beaten egg
  

Warm the milk (don't let it boil), add the butter, When the butter has melted, add the yeast and whisk until combined. Put the flour in a large bowl, add the milk/buter/yeast mixture and a large pinch of salt, and mix well. Knead for about 5 minutes until you have smooth dough. Set aside in a warm place, covered with a towel, to rise for about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180C/ 350F.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface, into a large rectangle. Cut it lengthwise in halve and cut each halve into 5 pieces so you end up with 10 rectangles. Cut the eel fillets into pieces that have the same lenght as the dough rectangles'longest side. Divide the fish between the pieces of dough.

Moisten the longer sides of the rectangles with a little water and roll them up. Don't pinch the sides, the fish should remain slightly visible. Put them on a buttered baking tray and leave to rest for about 15 minutes.

Glaze with the beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes, until puffed up and golden.

In this post you show these rolls. To me, it looks as though something (like mayonnaise) is inside the roll along with the eel. No?

Haven't seen @Chufi on eG for quite a while (see her occasionally on FaceBook). I see no mention of mayo so I suspect not.

I thought her profile said she was last on eGullet in July. I've only just realized that was last year!

Chufi's Dutch blog was how I ended up on this forum, so I am forever grateful. I'm nowhere near her expertise, but I can read Dutch so I checked out a few other palingbroodjes recipes. None out of four different sources mention mayonaise or any other component to be stuffed into the bread along with the fish.
