Where to find ingredients
Find fresh yeast and all-purpose flour in the baking aisle of local supermarkets or wholesale outlets. Prato cheese can be found in the deli or dairy section of specialty food stores; if unavailable, a mild, semi-hard melting cheese makes a suitable substitute.
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 rise until it has doubled in volume.
- Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into individual buns.
- Place a piece of cheese inside each portion and seal the edges tightly.
- Arrange the buns on a baking tray and let them proof again.
- Brush the tops of the buns with a beaten egg yolk.
- Bake in a preheated oven until they are golden brown.
Observations
A simple and homemade recipe, perfect for an afternoon snack or tea time. The secret lies in achieving the right dough consistency and allowing sufficient proofing time to ensure the buns turn out beautifully light and fluffy.
