Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 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

  • 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 flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast to create a uniform dry mixture, ensuring consistent rising and flavor.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients and Form Dough: Add warm milk, melted butter, warm water, and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a dough starts to form with combined ingredients.
  3. Knead Dough: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Then, place it in a bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Preheat Oven and Roll Dough: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Once risen, roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface.
  5. Add Filling and Roll Up: Sprinkle grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, and chopped parsley evenly over the buttered dough. Carefully roll the dough into a log and cut it into individual pieces.
  6. Prepare for Baking and Bake: Place the cut pieces vertically into a greased muffin tin to form the cruffin shape. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Ensure milk and water are warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Use fresh yeast for best rising results.
  • For extra flakiness, chill the dough briefly before rolling and filling.
  • Let the cruffins cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin to maintain their shape.
  • You can substitute cheeses according to taste preference, but Parmesan and mozzarella provide a balanced sharp and creamy flavor.
