Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Skim milk
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 2 teaspoons of instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Step 2
Add 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix with a spoon until the ingredients are well combined and the dough begins to come together.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a bit more flour as needed.
Step 4
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of low-fat mozzarella cheese with 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of oregano.
Step 7
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
Step 8
Flatten each piece into a small round and place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center. Gather the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch them together to seal securely. Roll gently between your hands to form a smooth ball.
Step 9
Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon of skim milk to create an egg wash.
Step 11
Brush the top of each roll with the egg wash to help them brown beautifully.
Step 12
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Step 13
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these heart-healthy cheese-filled bread rolls warm.
