Use any loaf that is a day old. Fresh bread turns to paste in most of these.

Is Stuffed Bread Rolls vegetarian?

Yes, and as written it is vegan too. Check your specific brands if that matters to you.

Can I make Stuffed Bread Rolls without an oven?

That is exactly what this recipe is for. It uses a pressure cooker, a pan or the fridge instead of an oven, and the method here is written for that, not adapted from a baked version.

What do you serve with Stuffed Bread Rolls?

Drain and eat hot with chutney. Baking is chemistry, so scale it by weight rather than by eye: double every quantity, use a tin with roughly double the area, and expect to add ten minutes or so. Judge it by the skewer, not the clock.
