Prepare the Dough:
In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add oil, salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape the Rolls:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8–10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Flatten each ball slightly, add grated cheese, peppers, sausage slices, and olives as filling. Seal the dough around the filling to form a roll.
Baste and Bake:
Place the rolls on the prepared baking tray. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve:
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with marinara or garlic dipping sauce.
Pair with a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Enjoy as a side dish to soups or pasta.
Serve at parties or picnics for a fun, handheld snack.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chili flakes for extra flavor.
Cooking Tips
Use warm (not hot) milk to activate the yeast without killing it.
Knead the dough thoroughly for a soft and fluffy texture.
Customize the filling with your favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, onions, or ham.
For extra flavor, sprinkle Italian seasoning or dried oregano on top before baking.
Let the rolls rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to settle.
