The scent of freshly baked bread

There is nothing quite as lovely as the scent of freshly baked bread wafting through the house. These incredibly easy Mozzarella Stuffed Dinner Rolls smothered in garlic parsley butter are the perfect entry into baking. Simple, fuss free and completely delicious.

If you have never baked bread before, this is the recipe for you. The mixing, kneading and shaping is completely therapeutic, so don’t feel too nervous. Just remember, the best approach to baking is surrender.

How to serve

I serve the dinner rolls straight from the oven, with a coating of melted butter and a trio of butters and spreads: whipped honey butter, pistachio and garlic confit butter and finally, a persimmon spread/jam that I knocked up and have no recipe for.

Here are a few other serving suggestions

Butter and Honey Glaze
Serve dinner rolls warm with a side of whipped butter and a drizzle of honey for a sweet and savory combination.

Herb-infused Olive Oil Dip
Pair dinner rolls with a dipping sauce made with extra virgin olive oil, fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), and a touch of balsamic vinegar.

Garlic Parmesan Spread
Enhance the rolls with an umami rich spread made by mixing softened butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.

Soup or Stew Accompaniment
Serve dinner rolls alongside a hearty soup or stew, allowing the soft, pillowy texture of the rolls to complement the savory flavors of the main dish.

Please note

Note: The original recipe for the dinner rolls was inspired from allrecipes.com

Ingredients

Rolls

▢ 250 g/9oz/2 cups all-purpose flour divided into two quantities: 190g + 60g
▢ 25 g/1oz/2 tbsp white sugar
▢ 7 g/ ¼ oz rapid or fast rise yeast
▢ ½ tsp salt
▢ 120 ml/4fl oz/½ cup milk
▢ 60 ml/2fl oz/¼ cup water
▢ 30 g/1oz of salted butter
▢ 85 g/3 oz mozzarella and cheddar cheese mixed (optional)

Instructions

Rolls

In a large bowl combine 190g of flour together with the sugar, undissolved yeast and salt then mix with a hand whisk.
Place the milk, water and 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over low-med heat until warm.
Then, put the dry flour mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer, add the warm milk mixture and beat for 1-2 minutes on medium speed. From time to time, using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure uniform consistency.
Now, add the rest of the flour and beat for 2-3 minutes at high speed. At this stage the dough will be soft, but do not worry as this is just as it should be.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for approx. 8-10 minutes, then cover. Allow the dough to rest for 20-25 minutes in a warm and dry place.
Divide the dough into 8-10 pieces and form into round patty shapes. Place a generous pinch of grated cheese in the center of each patty, then gather the sides of the dough to the center to form a dumpling shape before pinching to seal. Shape each patty into a smooth ball before placing in a greased, lined 8-inch round pan.
Cover with oiled cling wrap and allow to rise, in a warm place, until doubled in size. This will take approx. 1 hour - 1 hour 15 mins. Feel free to check every now and then.
10 mins before the end of the proving process preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C/170° fan). Bake the rolls until golden brown on top, this will take approx. 15-20 minutes depending on your oven. Turn half way through to ensure an even bake.
