Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 ml Warm water
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 250 g Whole wheat flour
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 5 g Salt
- 15 ml Olive oil
- 200 g Low-fat ricotta cheese
- 10 g Chopped fresh parsley
- 10 g Chopped fresh basil
- 1 g Ground black pepper
- 100 g Low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 piece Egg white
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, chopped parsley, chopped basil, ground black pepper, and shredded mozzarella cheese for the filling.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Flatten each portion into a disc and place about a tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a ball.
Place the filled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
Brush the rolls with beaten egg white for a shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
