Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1 packet yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh plant-based goat cheese
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley), finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Activate the yeast by mixing it with warm water and a bit of sugar until bubbly. Combine the activated yeast with flour, olive oil, salt, sugar, and natural gelling agent. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, then cover it and let it rise until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling: Cook smoked turkey bacon until crisp, then chop into small pieces. Mix with creamy plant-based goat cheese and finely chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Shape the Rolls: Roll out the risen dough into a thin rectangle. Evenly spread the goat cheese and turkey bacon mixture over the dough. Carefully roll it up like a jelly roll, then slice into portions about two inches thick.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking tray. Cover lightly and let them rise for an additional 20 minutes to achieve fluffiness.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure water is warm but not hot to properly activate yeast.
- Do not overfill the rolls to prevent sogginess.
- Use fresh herbs for a brighter flavor.
- Allow sufficient rising time for soft, airy rolls.
- Let rolls cool a little after baking to enhance texture and ease of handling.
