stuffed bread rolls

Pillowy soft homemade bread rolls stuffed with spinach and cheese - a delicious and filling meal that can be made with simple ingredients!

Homemade Bread Rolls

(approx. 1 lb) bread flour

active dry yeast (or use instant yeast)

milk (1 cup=250 ml)

sugar

butter melted + extra butter oil

salt

spinach

mozzarella cheese

herbs

garlic powder

white pepper

cream cheese (optional)

Warm the milk until it is a little over room temperature. Mix in the sugar and the sachet of yeast.

Stir and let the yeast activate for 8-9 minutes. It should be frothy once activated. Optionally, use instant yeast.

In a mixing bowl, add the flour, the activated yeast+ milk mixture, the egg, salt and butter. Using a stand mixer or your hands, mix well until the mixture forms a dough. Knead the dough for a few minutes on the countertop.

Make the dough

Place the dough back into a lightly greased mixing bowl and cover it with a clean tea towel. Let it double in size (around 90 mins). If you are using an Instant Pot, lightly grease the inner pot with olive oil and set the Instant Pot to &#039;Yogurt&#039; mode. Let the dough sit inside for 50 minutes, until double in size. Use this time to make the filling for the bread rolls (see recipe below).

Let the dough proof once

Take out the dough, and on a lightly floured surface, knock out the air, and roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it is around ¼ inch thick and roughly shaped like a rectangle.

Spread out the filling over the rolled out dough.

Using a knife or pizza cutter cut the dough into strips of similar width (2-3 cm wide).

Roll up each strip and stack them in a baking pan or cake tin. I used 2 x 7-inch round cake tins, each holding 4 dough rolls. Do not stack them too tight, give the rolls a little space to rise.

Shape the dough

Keep the cake tins in a warm place, covered with a clean tea towel to rise for the second time for 50 mins-1 hour. If you are using an Instant Pot, you can stack the cake pans and keep them inside the Instant Pot. Hit the &#039;Yogurt&#039; setting and let it proof for 30 minutes. During this time, pre-heat the oven at 350 F (180C).

Let the dough proof for the second time

Once proofed, brush the tops of the dough with melted butter and transfer to the pre-heated oven. Bake for 20 minutes  at 350 F (180C), until golden brown. Once baked, brush with more melted butter right after you take the rolls out of the oven.

Bake

Combine all the ingredients listed under filling and keep aside to use while shaping the dough. Proceed with the steps as explained above.

For the filling

Soft and fluffy dinner yeast rolls stuffed with gooey cheese on the inside, and topped with garlic butter compound. A traditional dinner roll recipe with a fun twist!

Cheese Stuffed Dinner Rolls

2% milk

unsalted butter

instant yeast

tsp salt

bread flour (more if needed)

mozzarella

butter

garlic (minced)

Warm milk and butter in microwave until temperature reached ~100-110ºF, or the temperature your instant yeast requires to activate. Do not overheat as it will kill the yeast.

In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, add warm milk mixture and yeast, the mix to combine. Add sugar, egg, and salt. Whisk to combine.

Add bread flour. Using either your hands or a dough hook on a stand mixer, knead dough until bread flour is completely incorporated. The dough should be slightly sticky. If dough is too wet, add flour 1 tbsp at a time.

Transfer dough to a large, lightly greased bowl. Cover with a towel. Let dough rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.

After and hour, the dough should double in size. Punch dough to release air bubbles. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a long tube, then cut tube into 12 pieces keeping them as even as possible (cut tube in half and then each have into quarters. Cut each quarter into 3 pieces)

Working with one piece of dough at a time, lightly knead the dough piece. Slightly flatten and place one mozzarella cube in the center. Gently form a dough ball around the cheese making sure to seal the bottom of the dough ball. Place sealed side down in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Repeat for each dough piece.

Once all 12 cheesy dough balls have been placed in the 9x13 pan, cover with a towel and let rise for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350º. While oven is preheating, make the garlic butter compound by mixing the melted butter, salt and minced garlic. Generously brush the compound over the top of the dough balls.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Serve rolls warm. Enjoy!
