Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
Instructions
- 1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle active dry yeast on top and let sit until foamy (5-10 minutes).
- 2. In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour and salt. Once the yeast mixture is foamy, add it to the flour mixture and stir until a rough dough forms.
- 3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about an hour).
- 4. Punch down the risen dough and divide into small pieces. Flatten each piece slightly, add shredded cheese, and roll into balls.
- 5. Arrange the balls in a greased baking dish, cover again, and let them rise until puffed (another hour).
- 6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
