Equipment Needed

To make these delicious Pumpkin-Shaped Cheese Stuffed Rolls, you will need the following equipment:

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer (optional)
  • Dough scraper or knife
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven
  • Pastry brush
  • Cooking twine (for shaping)
  • Scissors

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups warm milk
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 packet dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 5 cups flour

For the Filling:

  • Cheese slices

For the Topping:

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon molasses

For Brushing After Baking:

  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Stir and let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast activates and becomes frothy.
    • Add the vegetable oil, salt, and gradually add the flour, mixing continuously until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.
    • Knead the dough well until it becomes smooth and elastic.
    • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
  2. Shape the Rolls:
    • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
    • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
    • Divide the dough into small equal portions and flatten each piece slightly.
    • Place a slice of cheese in the center of each piece of dough and fold the edges over to enclose the cheese completely.
    • Roll the dough into smooth balls.
  3. Shape into Pumpkins:
    • Cut cooking twine into pieces long enough to wrap around each dough ball and tie a knot at the top.
    • Lightly oil the twine to prevent it from sticking to the dough.
    • Wrap the twine around each dough ball to create the segments of the pumpkin, tying it gently but securely.
  4. Bake the Rolls:
    • Place the shaped rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
    • Mix the egg yolk with molasses and brush the mixture over the tops of the rolls.
    • Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 15-20 minutes.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  5. Finish the Rolls:
    • As soon as you remove the rolls from the oven, brush them with melted butter while they are still hot.
    • Carefully remove the twine from each roll before serving.
  6. Serve:
    • Enjoy these delightful Pumpkin-Shaped Cheese Stuffed Rolls warm, straight from the oven.
