Ingredients
- FILLING:
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup feta, crumbled
- 1/4 cup parmesan, grated
- 1/2 cup zaatar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- FOR ASSEMBLY:
- 12 dinner roll dough balls
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- toasted sesame seeds, to garnish
Method
- Lay the frozen dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment and sprayed with oil, spacing them apart, cover them with plastic wrap also sprayed with oil, and leave them in a warm place to thaw and rise for 3 to 5 hours, or overnight, until doubled.
- Stir the mozzarella, feta and parmesan together in one bowl, and mix the zaatar with the olive oil in a small bowl.
- Heat the oven to 350°F and flour your work surface.
- Stretch each piece of dough into a thin, long rectangle, spread the zaatar mixture across it, and sprinkle the cheese mixture over the top.
- Roll each rectangle up tightly and set it on a parchment-lined baking tray with the seam underneath, repeating with the rest of the dough.
- Whisk the egg with the milk, brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash, and sprinkle sesame seeds over them.
- Bake the rolls for 20 to 24 minutes, until golden on top and puffed up, then cool them for 10 minutes and serve them warm.
