Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (170 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ¾ cup (75 grams) blanched almond flour
- 1 oz (28 grams) cream cheese, cubed
Leavening Agents:
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons / 7 grams) active dry yeast
- ½ tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon inulin powder
Liquid and Topping:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) lukewarm water
- Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine lukewarm water and inulin. Sprinkle yeast over the liquid and allow to rest for 10 minutes until a frothy layer develops.
- Transfer the almond flour, baking powder, and beaten egg into a food processor. Once the yeast mixture reaches , pour it into the food processor and pulse until thoroughly integrated.
- Gather the mozzarella and cream cheese in a separate bowl. Gently melt the cheeses using a microwave in 30-second increments or via a double boiler method, stirring until achieving a uniform, smooth consistency.
- Transfer the melted cheese mixture directly onto the blade of the food processor. Process the ingredients until a cohesive, smooth dough forms, periodically scraping down the sides to ensure complete integration.
- Refrigerate the prepared dough for 15-20 minutes, allowing it to firm up and become more manageable without excessive stickiness.
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius). Cover a 10×15-inch (25×38 centimeters) baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking, then transform the dough into a large ball. Divide the ball into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round roll, positioning them 2 inches (5 centimeters) apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- If desired, delicately sprinkle sesame seeds across the rolls, gently pressing them into the surface. Bake for 10-15 minutes until achieving a golden-brown coloration.
Notes
- Baking transforms raw dough into golden, irresistible rolls with a delicate exterior and soft interior.
- Sticky situations vanish when hands are lightly oiled, creating smooth, perfectly shaped bread rolls.
- Cooling lets dough firm up, making it manageable and preventing frustrating handling challenges.
- Melted cheese needs careful heating to ensure a creamy, lump-free mixture that blends seamlessly.
- Fresh, active yeast guarantees a beautiful rise and prevents dense, disappointing bread results.
