Ingredients

• 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

How to Make Savory Herb and Cheese Roll

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, chives, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
6. After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about ½ inch thick.
7. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough, then roll it tightly from one end to the other, forming a log.
8. Cut the log into 1-inch slices and place them in a greased baking dish, cut side up.
9. Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
10. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
11. While the rolls are baking, mix sour cream, heavy cream, and lemon juice in a small bowl to make the creamy sauce.
12. Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle the creamy sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your water is at the right temperature to activate the yeast.
• Don’t rush the rising time; it’s crucial for a fluffy texture.
• Experiment with different herbs and cheeses to suit your taste.
• For a crispy top, brush the rolls with melted butter before baking.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the cream cheese with ricotta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
• Add cooked bacon bits or sautéed mushrooms to the cheese filling for added richness.
• Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers for a burst of flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh garden salad for a light meal.
• Marinated olives or antipasto platter for a Mediterranean touch.
• A charcuterie board with cured meats and cheeses.
• Your favorite dipping sauces like marinara or pesto.
