Ingredients
Scale
- 400 ml warm milk
- 15 grams sugar
- 10 grams dry yeast
- 480 grams wheat flour
- 8 grams salt
- 20 grams olive oil
- 200 grams mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 egg yolk
- Vegetable oil for greasing
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes until the surface becomes foamy.
- Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the bowl. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 30–40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Divide the dough into equal portions. Flatten each one and place a bit of cheese in the center.
- Fold and pinch the edges to seal, shaping them into smooth rolls.
- Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush each roll with beaten egg yolk.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and the tops are shiny.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- You can mix mozzarella and cheddar for a more flavorful filling.
- For extra golden tops, add a splash of milk to the egg yolk.
- These rolls freeze well and can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
