Ingredients

• 250 grams whole wheat flour
• 7 grams instant yeast
• 150 ml warm water
• 100 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
• 150 grams reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 1 large egg whites
• 1 for greasing olive oil spray
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water and low-fat Greek yogurt.

Step 3

Stir the mixture with a spatula until a dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

After the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 8

Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it slightly.

Step 9

Shred the reduced-fat cheddar cheese and place a generous tablespoon of cheese in the center of each flattened dough portion.

Step 10

Bring up the edges of the dough to encase the cheese, pinching to seal tightly. Gently shape it into an oval.

Step 11

Place the kaasbroodjes seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Lightly whisk the egg white in a small bowl and brush it over each roll.

Step 13

Sprinkle the rolls with dried oregano for added flavor.

Step 14

Lightly spray the coated rolls with olive oil spray.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and cheese starts to bubble out.

Step 16

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
