Dough Preparation:
- Warm 100ml of milk and dissolve 20g of yeast in it. Mix with 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Cover and let it rise.
- Sift 300g of flour (preferably type 500 or 550) into a bowl, add 20g of sugar, crack in 1 egg and 1 egg white, and add 50g of melted and cooled butter.
- Pour in the yeast mixture and knead the dough. Let it rise covered for about 1 hour.
Forming the Rolls:
- Divide the dough into about 9 pieces, shape them into balls, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow to rise for about 20 minutes.
- Using a glass, press down to create indentations in the balls.
- Fill the indentations with cheese filling using a piping bag with a nozzle.
Cheese Filling:
- Press 400g of white cheese (preferably semi-fat, in cube form, not ground) through a sieve into a bowl. Add 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, a pinch of vanilla sugar, and the zest of one lemon. Mix well and transfer to a piping bag.
Final Steps:
- Pipe the cheese filling onto the rolls, cover with a cloth, and let them rise for an additional 20 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 18-20 minutes, until golden.
