Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the baking aisle, dairy section, and produce section of supermarkets or neighborhood markets. If needed, ask for a mild melting cheese at the deli counter; a local substitute can be used for the cheese, but the dough ingredients should stay as listed.
Preparation method
- Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl
- Knead the dough well until it is smooth and soft
- Cover the dough and let it rest until it doubles in size
- Divide the dough into small portions and shape the rolls
- Place a piece of cheese inside each one and seal well
- Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet and let them rise again
- Brush the surface of the rolls with egg yolk
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown
Observations
A practical homemade recipe, ideal for a snack or afternoon coffee. The secret is getting the dough just right and allowing enough resting time so the rolls turn out light and fluffy.
