Preparation time: 1 hour (including rising time)
Baking time: 25-30 minutes
Total: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Number of servings: 9 rolls
Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 500 g flour
- 25 g fresh yeast
- 150 ml lukewarm milk
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (or soft butter, if you prefer)
- 4 tablespoons sour cream (can be replaced with yogurt)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 egg (for brushing)
For the filling:
- 150 g cheese (cut into small cubes)
- 150 g ham (cut into small cubes)
- 200 g canned mushrooms (drained and chopped)
Detailed instructions:
1. Preparing the dough
Start by mixing the flour with the salt and sugar in a large bowl. This step ensures an even distribution of ingredients. Dissolve the fresh yeast in the lukewarm milk. Make sure the milk is not too hot, as it will kill the yeast. Add the dissolved yeast to the flour mixture.
2. Kneading the dough
Begin to knead the dough gently, gradually adding the remaining lukewarm milk. When the dough becomes homogeneous, add the olive oil. Continue kneading for about 5-10 minutes, until the dough is elastic and smooth. If it sticks to your hands, you can add a little flour, but be careful not to overdo it, as a dough that is too dry will affect the fluffiness of the rolls.
3. Rising the dough
Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm spot, away from drafts, until it doubles in size, about 30-40 minutes. This is the perfect time to relax or prepare the filling.
4. Preparing the filling
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Cut the cheese, ham, and mushrooms into small cubes. You can experiment with different ingredients – add olives, peppers, or even grilled vegetables for a vegetarian option.
5. Shaping the rolls
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured work surface. Tear off 9 pieces of dough the size of a golf ball. Flatten each piece with your hand, then fill it with the filling mixture. Gather the edges to form a ball, ensuring that the filling is well encapsulated.
6. Placing on the baking tray
Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them to allow for rising.
7. Brushing and baking
Beat the egg with a little milk and brush each roll with this mixture to achieve a nice golden color when baking. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden and fluffy.
8. Serving
After removing them from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These rolls are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or even as part of a main meal. You can accompany them with a fresh salad or a yogurt sauce for a delicious contrast.
Useful tips:
- If you want to give the dough a special flavor, you can add dried herbs (such as oregano or rosemary) to the flour mixture.
- The rolls can be frozen after baking, so you can enjoy them later. Let them cool completely, then place them in a freezer bag. When you want to consume them, let them thaw and reheat in the oven to regain their fluffy texture.
- You can replace the filling with feta cheese and spinach for a Mediterranean version.
Nutritional benefits:
These rolls contain carbohydrates from flour, proteins from ham and cheese, and healthy fats from olive oil. You can adjust the recipe to make it healthier by using whole wheat flour or substituting sour cream with Greek yogurt.
Calories: Approximately 180-200 calories per roll, depending on the filling.
Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast?
Yes, you can use dry yeast – 10 g of dry yeast is equivalent to 25 g of fresh yeast.
2. What can I do if the dough doesn’t rise?
Make sure the yeast is active (dissolve it in lukewarm milk and let it sit for a few minutes to bubble). Also, the temperature of the environment is important; if it is too cold, the dough will not rise.
3. How can I customize the filling?
The filling is extremely versatile. You can add sautéed vegetables, different cheeses, or even cooked ground meat.
So don’t hesitate any longer! Prepare these baked stuffed rolls and enjoy every delicious bite. Enjoy your meal!
