  • Salt and pepper 
     

Method

Egg Bread dough 
  1. Place 2 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix well at low speed for 1 minute 
  2. Add water and milk and diced butter and beat at low speed for the first 1-2 minutes to combine.  
  3. Remaining at low speed, gradually add beaten eggs a little at a time.  
    Increase speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes. Mixture should be glossy and sticky.  
  4. Remove paddle attachment and insert dough hook. Slowly add remaining flour, ½ cup at a time until it forms a firm dough.  
  5. Continue kneading for 5 minutes at medium speed or until dough is smooth and elastic  
  6. Tip dough onto a lightly flour work surface and knead into a ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; and leave to rise for about an hour or until doubled in size. 

Cheese, garlic, chive filling 
  1. Line a large baking tray with baking paper  
  2. Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to form a 40cm square.  
  3. Brush dough with half the melted butter and sprinkle garlic salt and chopped chives evenly over the top. Roll up dough to form a log. Cut into 24 pieces. 
  4. Roll each portion into balls, pushing a cube of mozzarella into the centre of each and rerolling to enclose. Place onto prepared baking tray.   
  5. Cover and allow to rise in warm place for 30-40 minutes (note: dough is ready when indentation remains after lightly touching)  
  6. Preheat oven 200°C/ 180°C (fan forced)  
  7. Brush risen bread with combined egg yolk and milk. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Brush warm rolls immediately with remaining melted butter. Stand on baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or room temperature. 

Notes

  • Wrap leftover rolls in cling film and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Heat in a low oven or in microwave until just warmed through. 
  • Wrap well in cling film and freeze for up to one month. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight. 
  • Prepare rolls up to second prove. Wrap well and freeze. To bake, defrost in refrigerator overnight. Prove rolls in a warm place until doubled in size and bake as per recipe.
