Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 large egg

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast thoroughly to distribute the leavening and seasoning evenly.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients and Form Dough: Pour in the warm milk, melted butter, warm water, and egg into the dry mixture. Mix until a cohesive dough begins to form.
  3. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Then place the dough in a bowl, cover it, and allow it to rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  4. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the risen dough into a rectangular shape and evenly spread the softened butter over its surface.
  5. Add Filling and Shape: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, and chopped parsley evenly over the buttered dough. Roll the dough up tightly into a log and cut into individual portions suitable for fitting into your muffin tin.
  6. Bake the Cruffins: Place the cut pieces into a greased muffin tin, ensuring they have some space to expand. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the cruffins have turned golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and melted.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature ingredients when mixing.
  • Ensure the milk and water are warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
  • Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free spot for an optimal rise.
  • Customize the filling by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for variation.
  • These cruffins are best enjoyed warm on the day they are baked but can be reheated in the oven.
