Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar work well)
• 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, or chives), chopped
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Additional herbs for garnish (optional)

How to Make Stuffed Bread Rolls

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
6. Flatten each piece into a small circle and place about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese and a sprinkle of chopped herbs in the center.
7. Gather the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Repeat with all pieces.
8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Place the stuffed rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
• Kneading the dough thoroughly is key to achieving that soft, fluffy texture.
• For an extra crispy crust, place a small pan of water in the oven while baking to create steam.
• Experiment with different cheeses or add cooked meats like ham or bacon for variety.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the cheese for a mix of ricotta and spinach for a delicious vegetarian option.
• Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Use a blend of Italian herbs such as oregano and thyme for a different flavor profile.
• Try incorporating sun-dried tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean twist.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh garden salad for a light meal.
• Marinara sauce or garlic butter for dipping.
• Soup, such as tomato or minestrone, for a comforting combo.
• A charcuterie board for a festive gathering.
