Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup cooked spinach, chopped (or any vegetable of choice)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

How to Make Savory Stuffed Bread Rolls

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
  3. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the filling by combining mozzarella cheese, chopped spinach, garlic powder, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  7. Flatten each piece into a small circle, place a generous tablespoon of filling in the center, and fold the edges over to seal. Pinch to ensure they are well closed.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Place the stuffed rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your water is warm but not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
  • Knead the dough well for the best texture.
  • Allow the rolls to rise in a warm environment; a turned-off oven with the light on is a good spot.
  • Make sure to seal the rolls tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

Easy Variations

  • For a meatier option, add cooked and crumbled sausage or shredded chicken to the filling.
  • Swap out the mozzarella for cheddar or feta cheese for a different flavor.
  • Use a mix of herbs like basil or oregano in the filling for an aromatic twist.
  • Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean flair.

What to Serve With It

  • Marinara sauce for dipping.
  • A fresh garden salad for a light meal.
  • Garlic butter for drizzling on top.
  • A side of creamy ranch dressing for a flavorful dip.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
