Ingredients

Servings

Dough

  • cup (163 g) whole milk, warmed to 105°F-115°F
  • 5 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • cups (344 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces, room temperature
  • ½ tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 jar (6.5 ounces) pesto
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 jar (7 ounces) oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated and sprinkled on top

Instructions

Dough

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the milk and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the milk and whisk to blend. Let sit until the yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add eggs. Whisk until smooth.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, the flour, and the salt.
  4. Add the milk mixture. With the mixer running, add butter, 1 piece at a time, blending well between additions.
  5. Knead on medium speed for 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium-high speed and knead until the dough is soft (about 5 minutes). Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, if the dough doesn't come together. (I added 2 tablespoons.)
  6. Brush a medium bowl with some melted butter. Place the dough in the bowl and brush the top of the dough with the remaining melted butter. Cover with plastic wrap.
  7. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  8. When ready, punch the dough, turn it out onto a floured surface, and roll it into a 10×15-inch rectangle. (It should be about ¼-inch thick.)

Toppings

  1. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Spread the pesto over the dough. Top the mixture with parmesan, feta, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella.
  3. Roll the dough up tightly, starting on the long edge.
  4. Using a very sharp knife, cut the log into 12 rolls. Place them into the prepared baking dish. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.

Baking

  1. While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes.
  3. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Topping

  1. To make the butter topping, combine the melted butter with the garlic, and salt in a small bowl.
  2. Brush the buttery topping over the warm rolls and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  3. Serve warm.
