How to prepare the perfect yeast rolls?
The key to the flavour of these yeast rolls is well-prepared dough. I use traditional pizza dough, which after baking has the perfect texture - crispy on the outside, yet soft and fluffy inside.
Ingredients for the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour,
- 30 grams fresh yeast,
- 310 millilitres warm water,
- 1 tablespoon olive oil,
- 1 teaspoon salt,
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
Ingredients for the Filling:
- 3 medium onions,
- 150-200 grams canned ham,
- 100 grams yellow cheese,
- 1 teaspoon chopped basil.
Ingredients for the Tomato Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste,
- 1 tablespoon hot ketchup,
- 15-30 millilitres water (optional, if the paste is too thick),
- 1 clove garlic,
- A pinch of salt, pepper, and sugar.
Preparation Step by Step
1. Preparing the Dough
I dissolve the yeast in warm water with sugar and leave it for a few minutes. Then, I add sifted flour mixed with salt and olive oil. I knead the mixture until a smooth and elastic dough is formed. I place it in a bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise for an hour.
2. Preparing the Filling
I slice the onions into half-rings and sauté them in a little olive oil until translucent. I add diced ham, mix, and lightly sauté. I grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
3. Forming the Yeast Rolls
When the dough has risen, I roll it out on a floured surface to form a rectangle. I spread it with tomato sauce, evenly distribute the filling, and sprinkle with grated cheese and basil. I roll it up into a log and cut it into slices about 1.3 centimetres thick.
4. Baking
I place the ready rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I bake at 250°C for 8-10 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
These yeast rolls are a real hit in my kitchen. After baking, they have the perfect texture and fantastic flavour, combining aromatic spices, cheese, and crispy dough. I serve them warm or let them cool and serve as a snack for work. Try this recipe, and you definitely won't regret it!
