🧀 Mozzarella Stuffed Bread with Sesame Seeds

Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

  • Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast.
  • Let sit 10 minutes until foamy.

2. Make the Dough

  • Add egg, melted butter, and salt.
  • Add flour gradually and knead 8–10 minutes until soft and smooth.
  • Cover and let rise 1 hour, or until doubled.

3. Shape the Bread

  • Punch down the dough.
  • Divide into 8–10 portions.
  • Flatten each piece, place a mozzarella stick in the center, add herbs (optional), and seal well.
  • Roll into a ball or oval shape.

4. Prepare for Baking

  • Place the stuffed buns on a baking tray.
  • Brush with egg wash.
  • Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.

5. Bake

  • Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 18–22 minutes,
    until golden brown and puffed.

Tips for the Best Stretchy Mozzarella

  • Use low-moisture mozzarella (like block or sticks), not fresh.
  • Freeze the cheese sticks for 10 minutes before stuffing — helps prevent melting leakage.
  • Add a pinch of oregano + garlic powder inside for extra flavor.
