    Cheese Bread Rolls with Herbs

    Jump to Recipe

    Cheese bread rolls with herbs are delicious with picnics in the summer, served alongside salads and ham/salami/roast chicken, or with soup in the colder months. If you love cheese these are to die for!

    Cheese and herb rolls

    The rolls have a lovely cheesy flavour so I thought I’d share them here with you. I’ve become much more confident with making bread since the sweetened dough bread-making class I went to recently.

    We did lots of kneading, bread shaping and more. If you like making bread but don’t really get around to it, I really recommend a class as it can give you just the push you need to get baking.

    Cheese and herb rolls

    You only need a few store cupboard ingredients and some cheese to make these cheese rolls, so why not try them out. They didn’t require a lot of hands-on time, just ten minutes kneading and five minutes shaping later on.

    You can have them ready for lunch if you start just a couple of hours earlier. And you can’t beat the satisfaction of making your own bread, without all the chemicals you get in some shop-bought bread.

    How to Shape the Bread Rolls

    Shaping these cheese bread rolls with herbs is not that difficult. 

    After the first rise, split your dough into two pieces, then each piece into three, so you have 6 equal pieces. Form each small piece into a sausage shape by rolling it out and then form into a spiral, a bit like a snail shell but on its side.

    Cheese and Herb Rolls

    Leave to rise again. After baking they keep their shape beautifully.

    For more cheesy bread ideas to try, how about these:

    • Cheddar and dill beer bread rolls from Tinned Tomatoes
    • Wholemeal cheddar and apple chutney soda bread from Fab Food 4 All

    Ingredients

    • 225 g strong bread flour
    • 0.5 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp easy-bake yeast
    • 27 g unsalted butter
    • 60 ml boiling water
    • 60 ml milk
    • 1 egg
    • 50-100 g cheddar cheese I used medium cheddar
    • 2 tsp oregano
    UK Measurements - US Measurements

    Instructions 

    • Place the flour in a large bowl and add the salt on one side of the bowl and the yeast on the other.
    • Rub in the butter roughly then add half the egg. Keep the rest for egg wash before baking.
    • Add the milk and water and mix until the dough forms a ball.
    • Knead the dough for ten minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Add two thirds of the cheese, and the oregano during kneading,
    • Place the dough in a bowl covered in clingfilm to prove for 45 minutes to an hour.
    • When the dough has risen, take it out of the bowl and press it all over with your fingers to knock it back. Form it into a ball.
    • Split the dough in half using a scraper and then split each half into three.
    • Form each piece into a sausage shape, roll it up into a spiral and press down on top.
    • Place each roll on a baking sheet to rise again, for 45 minutes to an hour.  Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place a deep roasting tin in the bottom of the oven.
    • After the second rise, you should see the rolls have doubled in size.
    • Before the end of the second rise, fill and boil the kettle.
    • Brush the rolls with the leftover egg, and top them with the rest of the cheese, some coarsely ground salt and another sprinkle of oregano.
    • Pour an inch or so of boiling water into the hot tray in the bottom of the oven, then quickly place the rolls in the oven.
    • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Tap the bottom of the rolls to check if they are baked through. It should sound hollow if they are done.
