Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cup Roasted red bell peppers, finely chopped
- 1 unit Egg, lightly beaten
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and gently knead in the shredded cheddar cheese and roasted red peppers until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a round roll. Place the rolls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
Cover the rolls with a towel and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes, until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crusty.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy these crusty cheese red pepper rolls as an appetizer, side dish, or snack.
