Ingredients

for the dough

250 ml 1 cup full cream milk, warmed
10 g 2 teaspoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
2 eggs
500 g 4 cups white bread (strong) flour
1.5 teaspoons salt

for the filling

1 cup sundried tomatoes in oil drained and finely chopped
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
large handful fresh basil torn
salt & pepper

for the garlic butter

100 g butter
3 garlic cloves crushed
squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Combine the warmed milk, yeast and sugar in the bowl of a freestanding mixer and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
Whisk in the eggs then with the mixer running, add the flour and salt and allow to mix for 5 minutes until well combined.
Remove from the bowl and turn out onto a floured surface.
Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until you have a sticky, elastic dough.
Place in an oiled bowl and cover with cling wrap. Allow to rise for 1-2 hours until the dough has doubled in volume.
Line an oven proof casserole dish with baking paper.
When the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface then sprinkle over the sundried tomatoes, cheese and basil. Season to taste then roll up, lengthwise.
With a serrated knife, slice the roll into rolls around 3cm wide. Place the rolls in the prepared casserole dish and allow to rise for 30 minutes while the oven pre-heats to 180°c.
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
In the meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan/pan with the garlic and lemon juice.
When the rolls are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush with the garlic butter.
Allow to cool slightly then serve.
