After two sweets for Christmas celebrations, I am here with a savoury recipe. This is an enriched dough with butter and it is so soft. It was supposed to resemble a Christmas tree, but as the dough was very soft, it spread out too much in the tray. So the final bread didn’t even resemble a tree. But still they were so soft and when served warm, they just were gone in seconds. If you are trying this, try to make it in a 10″ round cake tin instead of the tray. You will get some beautiful pull apart rolls.
For the filling I used store bought cheese spread. Some days back, I bought a chilly capsicum cheese spread from Nilgiris. Only I liked the flavour. Both hubby and Sruti stayed away from it. So I thought of finishing off that jar with this recipe. I was so sure that Sruti will not eat this because of the flavour of the spread. But to my surprise, she went for a second helping and then for a third. We had these rolls for our dinner that day and I must say, we enjoyed it so much.
Ingredients:
All Purpose Flour/ Maida – 2 1/2 cups
Salt – 1 tsp
Instant Yeast – 1 1/4 tsp
Granulated Sugar – 1/4 cup
Milk – 1 cup
Butter – 1/3 cup
Cheese Spread – 1/2 cup
Procedure:
Heat milk and butter until butter melts.
Set it aside until it comes to luke warm.
In a bowl mix together flour, salt, sugar and yeast.
Add the luke warm milk and mix to form a sticky dough.
Transfer to the counter and knead it for 10 minutes until it becomes, soft, smooth and less sticky.
Use a bench scraper to handle the dough. Do not add too much flour.
Once done, place it in a well oiled bowl and cover with cling film and set it aside.
Once it is double the size, transfer it back to counter, punch out the air.
Shape it into a rectangle.
Add the cheese spread and spread it out evenly.
Roll it into a log.
Slice into 14 – 15 equal pieces.
Arrange them in a greased 10″ tin or a baking tray.
Cover and set aside for 20 minutes.
By the time, preheat oven to 200°C.
Bake the rolls for 15 – 20 minutes or until the top is nicely browned.
Remove from oven, brush the top of the rolls with butter and sprinkle some coriander leaves.
Serve them hot or warm.

Wow..I am tempted to pull out one of these breads .love that cheesy filling.

Oh my the bread looks outstanding. Would love to grab it from screen.
Feel like pulling a rolls and munching rite now, ultimate pull apart rolls, drooling over them.
Fabulous looking bread, Gayathri.
Those rolls look super soft and with that cheese spread they must have tasted AWESOME.
Awesome picture and the dish sounds out of the world..when I was drooling over the picture when you had posted on FB, Konda was so impressed with the way it looked and said Gayathri aunty makes such delicious breads!..
I love your recipes but in them yeast is mixed with flour..Can I use yeast which is bloomed first and then mix in flour
Yes, you can use it. Take a part of water or liquid from the recipe, use it to prove the yeast and add it to flour while making the dough.
Really good it’s really simple to make this
Hi Ma’am, can I use beater to knead the dough. How much time should I knead…can I replace apf with wheat flour…
If you mean the hand beater, then no. It becomes over heated unless it has good wattage. Better to knead by hand or stand mixer.
