Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1.5 cups Cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix)
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
• 0.5 teaspoon Optional: Garlic powder or Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is just melted. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm.

Step 3

Crack the egg into the milk mixture and whisk until combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.

Step 8

Flatten each portion into a circle and place about 1-2 tablespoons of cheese in the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese and pinch to seal, forming a ball.

Step 9

Place the cheese-stuffed dough balls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 10

Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for 30 minutes or until slightly puffed.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to make an egg wash.

Step 13

Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash. If desired, sprinkle with garlic powder or Italian seasoning for added flavor.

Step 14

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with the cheese melted inside!
