Ingredients in Milo Cheese Bread Rolls

Let’s take a look at what makes these rolls so special:

All-Purpose Flour: The base for our soft, fluffy rolls.

Active Dry Yeast: Helps the dough rise to perfection.

Milo Powder: The secret ingredient! It gives the rolls a subtle chocolate flavor that pairs perfectly with the cheese.

Milk: Adds richness to the dough, making it soft and tender.

Sugar: A little sweetness to balance out the savory cheese.

Salt: For flavor—don’t skip it!

Butter: Adds richness and keeps the rolls tender.

Shredded Cheese: The cheesy center that’s going to melt beautifully inside each roll.

Egg: Used to brush the rolls for a golden, shiny finish.

Vegetable Oil: Helps keep the dough soft and easy to work with.

Instructions

Let’s dive into the steps to create these Milo Cheese Bread Rolls:

Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, warm the milk and mix in sugar. Add the yeast and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. This step ensures your dough will rise nicely.

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and Milo powder. Add the yeast mixture and oil, then stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small portions. Flatten each portion into a circle, place a generous amount of shredded cheese in the center, and fold the dough over to seal. Shape the dough into a roll.

Proof the Rolls: Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover them, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Brush and Bake: Brush the tops of the rolls with a beaten egg for a shiny finish. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Tear them open to reveal the gooey, cheesy center with that delightful Milo twist!

How to Serve Milo Cheese Bread Rolls

These rolls are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven, with that cheesy center still gooey. Serve them with:

A hot cup of coffee or Milo for the perfect breakfast combo.
A side of fruit for a light and refreshing balance.
Or, if you want to get extra indulgent, drizzle a little honey over the top!

Additional Tips

Let the dough rise properly: The longer you let it rise, the fluffier your rolls will be.
Use a good-quality cheese: A mix of mozzarella and cheddar works wonders for that perfect melt.
Make them ahead of time: You can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise in the fridge overnight.

FAQ’s

1. Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes! Feel free to use cheddar, mozzarella, or any cheese that melts well.

2. Can I make these rolls without Milo?
Yes, though the flavor will change. You can leave it out or replace it with cocoa powder for a similar chocolatey taste.

3. Can I freeze these rolls?
Absolutely! Freeze the uncooked rolls and bake them later for fresh, warm bread whenever you like.

4. How do I store leftovers?
Keep the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

5. Can I make these rolls savory instead of sweet?
Yes, simply omit the Milo and add extra savory ingredients like garlic powder, herbs, or extra cheese.

6. What if my dough didn’t rise?
Check the yeast! If it wasn’t activated properly, your dough might not rise. Be sure your milk is warm but not too hot when activating the yeast.

7. Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, whole wheat flour will work, but the rolls will be denser. You may need to add a little extra water.

8. Can I make the dough in a bread machine?
Definitely! Use the dough setting on your bread machine and follow the same steps for shaping and baking.

9. Can I use non-dairy milk?
Yes! Feel free to substitute with almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option.

10. How do I make sure the cheese doesn’t leak out while baking?
Make sure to pinch the edges of the dough tightly around the cheese before baking, and avoid overstuffing.

These Milo Cheese Bread Rolls are the ultimate fusion of sweet and savory that will have you coming back for more. Soft, fluffy, and filled with gooey, melted cheese, they’re the perfect treat for any occasion.
