Ingredients

First Dough

50 g all-purpose flour
8-10 g fresh yeast
½ tsp sugar
60 ml warm water

Second Dough

250 g all-purpose flour
100 g whole wheat or all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
150-170 ml warm water Adjust based on flour absorption

For the Filling

few tablespoons of soft cheese e.g., crescenza, robiola, or any spreadable cheese
30-40 g Parmesan cheese, grated
as needed Truffle butter
to taste Toasted almonds, finely chopped
optional Fresh herbs (chopped parsley or thyme)

Instructions

Dissolve the yeast in warm water with sugar, mixing well. Add the flour and stir until smooth. Cover and let rise for 10-15 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
Add the flours, olive oil, and a little water at a time to the first dough, mixing to incorporate. Add the salt and continue adding water until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Knead for about 15 minutes using a stand mixer with a dough hook, or 25 minutes by hand, until the dough is elastic and smooth.
Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until doubled.
Once risen, roll the dough out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread a layer of truffle butter or melted truffle butter on the dough, followed by an even layer of soft cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and chopped almonds across the surface. Optionally, add a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Roll the dough tightly from the long side to form a log. Slice into rounds about 2-3 cm thick.
Place each roll in a muffin tin or spaced apart on a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 210°C (410°F) for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.

Notes

These rolls are best served warm.
Store them in an airtight container for 2-3 days, and reheat at 60°C (140°F) for a few minutes to refresh.
