Ingredients
  

For the dough

  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk warm full fat
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • cup butter softened

For assemble the rolls

  • 300 grams ham thin slices
  • 300 grams cheese thin slices

To season the rolls

  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt

To brush the rolls after backing

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted to brush

Instructions
 

Make the dough

  • In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer), whisk together the eggs, warm milk, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast. Mix until a rough dough forms. Add the softened butter and continue mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Lightly grease a clean bowl, place the dough inside, and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Shape the rolls

  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles. Place a little ham and cheese in the center of each circle, fold the dough in half, and then fold again to create a flower shape.
  • Arrange each folded piece in a greased round baking dish, forming a beautiful flower-like pattern. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.

Season the rolls

  • In a small bowl, mix olive oil with shredded garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Brush the tops of the rolls generously with this garlic herb oil.

Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for about 25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and smell irresistible. Brush with melted butter while they’re still hot for that glossy, buttery finish.

Notes

Dinner rolls are best if served fresh on the same day of baking.
