Cheese Filling

Method

Cheese Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare Cheese Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh mozzarella, ricotta cheese, and grated parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add Egg and Seasonings

    Beat the egg and add it to the cheese mixture along with chopped fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly.

Dough

  1. 3

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 4

    Make Dough

    In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center, then add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 5

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 6

    Let Dough Rise

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

Tomato Sauce

  1. 7

    Prepare Tomato Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

  2. 8

    Cook Tomatoes

    Add canned tomatoes, salt, and dried oregano to the saucepan. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 9

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

  2. 10

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle shape.

  3. 11

    Fill and Fold

    Spread the cheese mixture along one edge of the dough and roll it up tightly. Pinch the ends to seal.

  4. 12

    Bake

    Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. 13

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve with the tomato sauce on the side.
