Soft Gooey Stuffed Bread Rolls filled with melted mozzarella, garlic, and savory add-ins. A warm, cheesy homemade bread perfect for snacks, parties, or comfort food cravings.

Ingredients

2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)

Filling:
1 cup shredded mozzarella
½ cup cooked and crumbled sausage or chopped pepperoni (optional)
¼ cup sautéed onions or bell peppers
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Topping:
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Extra grated parmesan or cheddar (optional)

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add olive oil, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine mozzarella, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and any optional fillings. Mix well.
Divide dough into 10 equal pieces. Flatten each into a small circle.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center, then pinch edges to seal and roll into a ball.
Place rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from oven, brush with more butter, and garnish with parsley or extra cheese if desired.
Serve warm while the centers are still gooey.

Notes

Use low-moisture mozzarella to prevent soggy rolls.
Seal the dough well to keep the cheese from leaking out.
You can make them vegetarian by skipping the meat and adding more veggies.
Best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
