Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Filling

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, zucchini), finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the rolls to a golden finish.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to form the base for the dough.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and stir until a rough dough is formed.
  4. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic, which helps develop the gluten for a tender roll.
  5. Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle to prepare for spreading the filling evenly.
  6. Prepare Filling: In a separate bowl, mix together shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, cream cheese, chopped mixed vegetables, fresh parsley, and garlic powder until well combined.
  7. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the cheese and vegetable mixture over the rolled-out dough, leaving no gaps for a fully stuffed roll.
  8. Roll Dough: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays contained within the dough layers.
  9. Slice Rolls: Cut the rolled log into 8 equal pieces and place them spaced evenly on a greased baking sheet for baking.
  10. Butter Topping: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and brush it generously over the tops of each roll to enhance browning and flavor.
  11. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted and bubbly.
  12. Cool & Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes to set before serving.
  13. Enjoy: Serve your cheesy baked vegetable rolls warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • You can substitute mixed vegetables with your favorites or seasonal veggies for variety.
  • Make sure the water is warm but not hot when mixing the dough to activate the baking powder properly.
  • Brush the rolls with butter just before baking to achieve a golden and flavorful crust.
  • These rolls can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick snack later.
  • If you prefer a spicier filling, add a pinch of chili flakes or chopped jalapeños.
