Discover a captivating recipe that combines the Italian flavors of oregano with the savoriness of parmesan, transforming a simple dough into a delicious delicacy: Rose with Oregano and Parmesan. This simple and quick recipe is perfect for a special dinner or to impress guests at a party.

Ingredients:

- 500 g wheat flour
- 7 g dry yeast
- 300 ml lukewarm milk
- 100 g melted butter
- 100 g grated parmesan
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, for brushing

Dough Preparation:

1. Activating the Yeast: In a medium bowl, dissolve the dry yeast in the lukewarm milk, adding the sugar as well. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until a foam forms on the surface. This step is essential to ensure the yeast is active, crucial for a fluffy texture.

2. Mixing the Ingredients: In another large bowl, combine the flour with the salt and oregano. Add the melted butter and mix well. Then, pour the milk and yeast mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or your hands to incorporate the ingredients until you achieve a homogeneous dough.

3. Kneading: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour, but avoid adding too much to prevent making the dough heavy.

4. Rising: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Shaping the Roses:

1. Shaping the Dough: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured work surface into a rectangular sheet about 1 cm thick.

2. Adding the Parmesan: Evenly sprinkle the grated parmesan over the dough, ensuring it is well distributed. You can also add some fresh oregano for a more intense flavor.

3. Cutting and Rolling: Cut the dough sheet into strips about 4 cm wide. Roll each strip tightly, then form a spiral and place it in a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

4. Resting: Let the roses rise again for 15-20 minutes. During this time, preheat the oven to 180°C.

Baking:

1. Brushing and Baking: Beat the egg and brush each rose with it to achieve a golden and glossy crust. Bake the roses in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they turn golden and crispy.

2. Cooling: Once baked, remove the roses from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these roses with oregano and parmesan warm, as an appetizer or accompanied by a fresh green salad. You can add a tomato or yogurt sauce for extra flavor. Another delicious variation is to add olives or garlic to the dough for a more complex taste.

Practical Tips:

- Ensure the milk is lukewarm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
- You can experiment with other cheeses, such as mozzarella or feta, to achieve different flavors.
- If you want to make a vegetarian version, you can omit the parmesan and substitute it with a vegan alternative.

These roses with oregano and parmesan are not only a tasty choice but also an excellent way to bring a touch of Italian flavor to your kitchen. Enjoy every bite and savor the compliments from your loved ones!
