Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Knead the dough thoroughly until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rest until it doubles in size.
- Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into individual rolls.
- Place a piece of cheese inside each portion and seal tightly.
- Arrange the rolls on a baking tray and allow them to rise again.
- Brush the top of each roll with a beaten egg yolk.
- Bake in a preheated oven until they turn golden brown.
Observations
A practical and homemade recipe, perfect for a snack or afternoon tea. The secret lies in the dough's consistency and the resting time to ensure the rolls are light and fluffy.
