Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 3 cups
- Milo Powder: 1/2 cup
- Instant Yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet)
- Granulated Sugar: 1/4 cup
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Warm Milk: 1 cup (about 110°F / 43°C)
- Unsalted Butter, softened: 1/4 cup (56 g)
- Egg: 1 large
- Cheese Cubes (mozzarella or cheddar): 1 cup (about 150 g), cut into small cubes
- Egg Wash (egg beaten with milk): 1 egg + 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup Milo powder, 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually add 1 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter, and 1 large egg. Mix until a rough dough forms.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead with a stand mixer using the dough hook until the dough is tacky but not sticky.
- Assemble the Dish: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disk, place a cube of cheese (about 1 tablespoon) in the center, then fold the dough around the cheese and pinch to seal, forming a smooth ball. Place each filled ball seam-side down on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between rolls.
- Cook to Perfection: Cover the tray with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let the rolls rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size. Once risen, brush each roll with the egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tablespoon milk).
- Finishing Touches: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm. Tear a roll open to reveal the molten cheese center and enjoy with tea, coffee, or a drizzle of condensed milk for extra sweetness.
Notes
- Use warm milk, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
- If the dough is sticky, add flour a tablespoon at a time while kneading to reach a smooth, elastic texture.
- For extra Milo flavor, sprinkle a little Milo powder on top of the rolls before baking.
- To get a glossy golden top, brush with egg wash just before baking.
