Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup warm water
  • ½ cup warm milk
  • 1 teaspoon dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 100 g mozzarella cheese shredded or cubed
  • Sesame seeds as needed for topping

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add salt, oil, and flour gradually. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
  3. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Divide dough into equal portions. Flatten each piece, place some mozzarella cheese in the center, and seal to form a ball.
  5. Place the filled dough pieces on a parchment-lined baking tray. Let rise again for 15–20 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the tops with milk or egg wash (optional) and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Best served warm when the cheese is melty and gooey.
  • You can add herbs like oregano or thyme into the dough for added flavor.
  • Swap mozzarella for feta, cheddar, or even cream cheese for a variation.
  • These rolls freeze well — reheat in the oven for a fresh-baked feel.
