Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
• ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Sesame seeds, for topping (optional)

How to Make Stuffed Bread Rolls with Savory Filling

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until 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. Mix until a dough starts to form.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. While the dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing together mozzarella, feta, Parmesan, parsley, and basil in a bowl. Set aside.
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal pieces.
6. Flatten each piece into a small circle, about 4 inches in diameter. Place a generous tablespoon of the cheese and herb filling in the center of each circle.
7. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal tightly. Shape into a ball and place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let the rolls rise for another 20 minutes.
9. Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
• Feel free to mix and match herbs based on what you have on hand.
• For a spicy kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.
• Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth on the hot cheese.

Easy Variations

• Substitute different cheeses like cheddar or gouda for a unique flavor.
• Add cooked spinach or sautéed mushrooms to the cheese filling for extra nutrition.
• Try adding cooked sausage or bacon bits for a heartier option.

What to Serve With It

• A side of marinara sauce for dipping.
• A fresh garden salad to balance the richness.
• Garlic butter or herb-infused olive oil for drizzling.
