Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Make the yeast dough

    Combine both flours, salt, sugar, crumbled fresh yeast, oil, lukewarm milk, and eggs. Knead into a smooth dough by hand or in a bread machine. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.

  2. Make the filling

    Press or finely grate the garlic and mix it with the processed cheese and softened butter.

  3. Shape the rolls

    Roll out the dough to about 0.5 cm thick and cut out rounds. Press an indentation into each round with your finger and use a small spoon to add the filling. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with grated cheese.

  4. Bake

    Let the rolls rise a little longer, then bake for 5 minutes at 200 °C (400 °F). Reduce the temperature to 180 °C (350 °F) and bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown.

Tip: You can add one boiled, grated potato to the dough to keep the rolls soft longer. Press the indentations all the way to the bottom, or the filling will spill out during baking.
