Where to find ingredients
Find fresh yeast and all-purpose flour in the baking aisle of any local supermarket. Prato cheese can be sourced from the deli counter or cheese section of specialty food stores; as an alternative, mild mozzarella or a semi-soft white cheese works well if Prato is unavailable.
Preparation method
- Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Knead the mixture thoroughly until the dough is smooth and soft.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough proof until it has doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into small, equal portions and shape them into rolls.
- Place a piece of cheese into the center of each, sealing the dough well to prevent leaks.
- Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet and allow them to rise once more.
- Brush the top of each roll with a beaten egg yolk.
- Bake in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown.
Observations
This homemade recipe is straightforward and perfect for a snack or an afternoon tea break. Achieving that signature fluffy texture comes down to working the dough properly and ensuring enough rising time for the yeast to do its work.
