Indulge in the Cheesy Goodness of Filipino Cheese Rolls. These pillowy soft, cheese-filled pastries are a beloved staple in Filipino cuisine, capturing the hearts and taste buds of locals and visitors alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 16 pieces cheese sticks
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed. Next, add the milk and eggs, and knead the dough until it’s combined. Gradually incorporate the butter, continuing to knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

2. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

3. Divide the dough into portions, place a cheese stick in the center of each, and roll the dough to enclose the cheese.

4. Arrange the rolled Filipino Cheese Rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.

5. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.

6. As soon as the Filipino Cheese Rolls come out of the oven, brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Serve warm and enjoy the irresistible combination of sweet and savory.

Notes

To ensure your Filipino Cheese Rolls turn out perfectly, consider these helpful tips:

Cheese Selection: While traditional Filipino cheese rolls often use processed cheese sticks, you can experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, to find your favorite flavor profile.

Dough Kneading: Proper kneading is crucial for developing the gluten structure and achieving a soft, pillowy texture in the dough. Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic.

Proofing Times: Pay close attention to the rising times, as overproofing can lead to dense, heavy rolls, while underproofing can result in a lack of volume and texture.

Baking Perfection: Keep a close eye on the rolls during baking to ensure they don’t overbrown. The perfect Filipino Cheese Rolls will have a golden-brown exterior and a soft, gooey center.
