Gooey Mozzarella Stuffed Bread Rolls

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2.Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

3.Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4.Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5.Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

6.Flatten each piece of dough into a circle, about 4 inches in diameter.

7.In a bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella cheese with dried oregano and basil.

8.Place a generous amount of the cheese mixture in the center of each dough circle.

9.Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, pinching to seal tightly and form a ball.

10.Place the stuffed rolls seam-side down on a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each roll.

11.Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

12.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

13.Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

14.Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling inside.

15.Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
