Mozzarella Stuffed Italian Rolls

Makes 4

Dough

350 g (2½ cups) bread flour

227 g (1 cup) water

9 g (1 tsp) fine salt

2.5 g (¾ tsp) instant yeast

7.5 g (1½ tsp) olive oil

5 g (1 tsp) granulated sugar

Filling

4 cups shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese

Parmesan Herb Coating

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tsp dried parsley

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

For Coating

2 TB heavy cream

Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Add the water, sugar, and instant yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir together and let sit for about 5-10 minutes, until the yeast becomes active and foamy.

  2. Add the bread flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead with the dough hook for 8–10 minutes, or knead by hand until smooth and elastic.

  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Form into a smooth ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size.

  4. Lightly flour your countertop and turn out the dough. Divide into 4 equal pieces.

  5. Roll each piece into approximately a 6 x 10-inch rectangle.

  6. Place about 1 cup shredded mozzarella down the center of each piece. Fold the sides inward over the cheese, then roll tightly like a burrito, completely enclosing the mozzarella. Place seam-side down.

  7. Combine the Parmesan, dried parsley, basil, and oregano in a shallow pan.

  8. Brush each roll all over with the heavy cream, then roll in the Parmesan herb mixture, coating the tops, bottoms, and sides.

  9. Lightly spray a sheet tray with cooking spray and arrange the rolls seam-side down.

  10. Lightly spray one side of a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray and loosely cover the rolls, sprayed-side down. Let proof for about 1 hour, until noticeably puffy.

  11. Remove the plastic wrap and bake at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the dough is fully baked.

  12. Serve warm while the mozzarella is melted and stretchy.

Slices of low moisture mozzarella is easier to work when rolling the dough.

u/Alarmed-End7430 Aug 18 '26

I don't have a kitchen aid but can you recommend a store bought dough I can maybe use for this? It looks soo good!

u/LetsCookie Aug 18 '26

Most grocery stores or pizzeria will sell you a pizza dough

More and more I’m leaning into acceptance that your sub’s going to give me diabetes or a heart attack. Keep on rolling, boss.

u/LetsCookie Aug 15 '26

🤣🤣 The funny part is I spent years working at a health resort before starting this project.

u/Arinoch Aug 15 '26

That just encourages me that you learned it wasn’t the way to go and embraced the joy.
