Servings: 6
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.

Notes

Suggestion: If you wish to make these sweet and fragrant add a pinch or two of spice such as cinnamon, nutmeg or cardamom.
