Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt, oil, and milk together to form the dough.
- Roll out the dough to fit the size of a jelly roll pan.
- Mix tuna, eggs, celery soup, and chopped parsley to prepare the filling.
- Spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Roll up the dough with the filling inside and seal the ends.
- Shape into a circle or semi-circle on the jelly roll pan.
- Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cut into slices and serve hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for the oil and use low-fat milk. If you want to add extra flavor, consider mixing in some grated cheese or diced bell peppers to the filling. Be sure to roll the dough tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking. For a variation, try using crabmeat instead of tuna to create a dish inspired by Hot Crabmeat Cocktail Dip.
Serving Suggestions
This Tuna Fish Roll is best served warm, sliced into generous pieces. Pair it with a fresh green salad or a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal. A dollop of tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon can enhance the flavors. For a hearty option, serve alongside a bowl of creamy celery soup, creating a lovely complement to the dish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Tuna Fish Roll in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave slices for 1-2 minutes, but be careful not to overcook, as this can make the dough tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh tuna instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh tuna, but it will require cooking beforehand. Sauté the fresh tuna until fully cooked, then flake it before mixing with the other filling ingredients. This will give your Tuna Fish Roll a fresher taste and a firmer texture.
What can I substitute for celery soup?
If you don’t have celery soup, you can use cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup as a substitute. You could also make a homemade version by blending cooked celery, onion, and cream to achieve a similar consistency and flavor.
Is it possible to freeze the Tuna Fish Roll?
Yes, you can freeze the rolled-up dough before baking. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as instructed. This makes for an easy meal prep option!
