Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup Warm Milk (around 110°F/43°C)
  • 4 tablespoons Butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar (to activate yeast)

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Shredded Cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (parsley, chives, or thyme), finely chopped

Finishing

  • 1 Egg (for egg wash, beaten)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Start by activating your yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar and let it bloom for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. Then, mix it with flour, melted butter, and salt to form a soft dough. Knead it for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, ensuring your bread will rise nicely.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Cover your dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour. This step is crucial for creating that fluffy texture everyone loves in breakfast rolls.
  3. Prepare the Filling: While the dough rises, combine shredded cheese and finely chopped fresh herbs in a bowl. This mix will be the savory heart of your rolls, offering flavor in every bite.
  4. Shape and Stuff the Rolls: Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Flatten each piece and spoon a generous amount of cheese and herbs onto the center. Fold the dough over the filling, pinch edges to seal, and roll into smooth balls.
  5. Second Rise and Bake: Place the stuffed rolls on a lined baking tray, cover, and allow them to rise again for 20-30 minutes. Brush each roll with beaten egg to achieve a golden crust, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until beautifully browned and fragrant.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room temp milk and butter to help yeast activate faster.
  • Don’t Overfill: Keep fillings moderate to avoid spills during baking.
  • Even Portions: Use a kitchen scale or measuring cup for uniform rolls that bake evenly.
  • Fresh Herbs Are Best: They provide the brightest flavor compared to dried alternatives.
  • Egg Wash Tricks: Brush twice if you want an extra shiny and crispy crust.
