Method / Instructions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let it sit 5–10 minutes until frothy.

2. Shape the Rolls

1. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.

2. Flatten each portion slightly, sprinkle cheese inside, and fold to seal.

3. Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space to expand.

3. Second Rise

• Cover with a towel and let the rolls rise 30–40 minutes until puffy.

4. Bake

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Brush rolls with melted butter (and sprinkle extra cheese or herbs on top if desired).

3. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.

5. Serve

• Let them cool slightly and serve warm with your favorite soup.
