Ingredients
For the Dough:
– 1 cup warm milk
– 1/2 cup warm water
– 2 tsp granulated sugar
– 2 tsp dry yeast
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil
– 1 tsp salt
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
For the Filling:
– 9 tomatoes, finely chopped
– 1 green tomato, finely chopped
– 6 green peppers, finely chopped
– 4 green onions, finely chopped
– 150 grams cheddar cheese, grated
For the Topping:
– 1 egg yolk
– 1 tbsp olive oil
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparing the Dough
Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Sprinkle the dry yeast over the mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix the Dough: Add vegetable oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough by hand for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Ferment the Dough: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preparing the Filling
Chop the Vegetables: Finely chop the tomatoes, green tomato, green peppers, and green onions.
Combine with Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with grated cheddar cheese. Mix well until evenly distributed.
Assembling the Rolls
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll Out the Dough: Divide the fermented dough into small, equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and roll it into a small circle.
Add Filling: Place a spoonful of the vegetable and cheese mixture in the center of each circle. Roll up the edges and press them together to form a sealed roll.
Prepare for Baking: Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover with a cloth and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes.
Brush with Egg Yolk: Beat the egg yolk with olive oil and brush the mixture over the rolls for a golden, shiny finish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
Cool Slightly: Allow the rolls to cool on a rack for a few minutes before serving. This helps set the filling and makes them easier to handle.
Enjoy: Serve these delicious Cheesy Vegetable Rolls and watch them disappear in no time!
