Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 2 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (120°F to 125°F)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 12 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp oregano, dried
  • 1/2 tsp basil, dried
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached, combine flour, yeast, 2 teaspoons salt, and sugar.  With mixer on low speed, gradually add 1 1/4 cups warm water and oil beating until combined.
  • Increase mixer speed to medium, and beat until smooth and elastic, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and place dough in bowl, turning to great top.  Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (about 75°F) until doubled in size, about 1 hour (but could be longer).
  • Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
  • Spray a 10-inch cast iron skillet, or 9-inch baking pan, with cooking spray. 
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness and using a 2-inch round cutter, cut dough, re-rolling scraps as necessary.
  • Pinch off a piece of mozzarella that is about 3/4-inch in diameter.  
  • Place 1 piece of the pinched-off mozzarella in center of each round and wrap dough around cheese, pinching seam to seal.
  • Place dough rounds in prepared skillet, seam side down.
  • Place smaller pinches of mozzarella between rolls, filling any holes.  Shred, or pull apart, the remaining cheese and sprinkle all over the top of the rolls.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.  Sprinkle with Parmesan and bake 5 minutes mores (or until golden brown on top). 
  • In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, parsley, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.  
  • Brush rolls with butter mixture and then serve immediately.
