Halloumi Rolls
Makes about 16
Ingredients
- 1 pkg (7-10 oz) Pittas Halloumi cheese
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 envelope instant dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- About 1 cup warm water
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
Method
Preheat oven to 400 ºF.
Cut the Halloumi into 16 pieces and put on paper towel to drain.
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the yeast, sugar and salt and mix well. Add the oil and start working in the water until sticky dough forms.
Transfer dough onto a floured working surface and knead 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. (A strong electric mixer can be used instead.) Put dough in a bowl, cover with a towel and let rise in a warm draft-free place until doubled in volume, about an hour.
Punch dough down, knead a few minutes and cut into 15-16 pieces. Flatten each one on the palm of your hand, put a piece of Halloumi in the center and roll the dough over. Put rolls on a greased baking dish, cover and let stand 20 minutes.
Brush the rolls with egg yolk and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
