- For the dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- For the filling:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or dill
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix and knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Brush with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with garlic, cheese, herbs, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Roll tightly from the long side into a log and cut into 1.5-inch slices. Arrange rolls in the baking dish.
- Cover and let rise 20–30 minutes.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes until golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can substitute sun-dried tomatoes with finely chopped olives or roasted red peppers.
- Use a mix of herbs like thyme or chives for added flavor.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven.
