Ingredients

  • 480 g all-purpose flour (4 cups all-purpose flour)
  • 240 ml lukewarm milk (1 cup lukewarm milk)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (1 teaspoon sugar)
  • 20 g fresh yeast (0.7 oz fresh yeast)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (2 teaspoons baking powder)
  • 120 ml mayonnaise (1/2 cup mayonnaise)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (1 teaspoon salt)
  • 100 g margarine (7 tablespoons margarine)
  • 1 egg (for glazing) (1 egg for glazing)
  • 100 g Gouda cheese (diced) (3.5 oz Gouda cheese, diced)
  • Sesame seeds (to taste) (sesame seeds to taste)

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the sugar and crumbled yeast with lukewarm milk. Let it sit in a warm place for 10 minutes to activate.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the yeast mixture along with half of the flour, mayonnaise, and salt. Gradually mix in the remaining flour that has baking powder added, kneading constantly until a very soft but non-sticky dough forms. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
  3. Divide the dough into 16 balls and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Roll each ball into an ellipse, spread with margarine, and place a piece of Gouda cheese at one end. Roll the ellipse tightly from the cheese end.
  4. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes. Brush with the beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds or cumin, then bake in a preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit) until golden brown.
  5. Serve the finished rolls warm or cold.
