Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried parsley (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Add the warm water, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Flatten each portion into a small disc, place about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center, and fold the dough around the cheese. Pinch the edges to seal and shape into a ball.
Place the filled dough balls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a shiny finish.
If desired, sprinkle the tops with garlic powder and dried parsley for added flavor.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with the cheese oozing out!
