Ingredients

DOUGH

  • 3 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 cup milk lukewarm
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1 stick unsalted butter or shortening

Instructions

  • Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl and mix. Sprinkle instant yeast and mix again. Make a well at the middle of the dry mixture.
  • Add warm milk and eggs and beat them within the well. Once combined, mix with the rest of the flour mix to create a sticky dough.
  • Add the softened butter and knead within the bowl until butter is completely incorporated. Use your hands or an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment. For manual kneading, transfer the sticky dough on a greased surface and knead, using slap and fold method, at least 10 minutes or until smooth and has passed the windowpane test.
  • Form into a ball and place on a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise until it doubles in size.
  • Remove the cover and gently punch the dough down to release the gas bubbles. Tip the dough on an oiled surface, then cut into 16 equal pieces.
  • Take a piece and roll into a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten a piece into about 4x4-inch square. Place a cheese stick on one side and roll towards the end tucking the sides in to fully enclose it within the dough. Repeat with the rest.
  • Arrange the rolls in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper leaving enough spaces in between. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise until they double in size. Bake at 160°c for 12-15 minutes in a preheated oven.
  • Take out of the oven and let them cool a bit. Brush each one with softened butter and sprinkle with sugar.
