• 16 g 0.6 oz Dry Yeast

• 20 g 0.7 oz Sugar

• 10 g 0.4 oz Salt

How to make Cheese-Stuffed Bread Rings

• In the bowl of a mixer, add lukewarm milk, yeast, and sugar, and mix.
• Add seed oil, egg whites, flour, and salt, and either mix in the mixer for 4 minutes or knead by hand for 6 minutes.
• Grease a bowl with a little vegetable oil, place the dough inside, cover it with a towel, and set it aside to rise.
• Once the dough has risen, knead it slightly to deflate. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out a piece of dough into an elongated shape. Spread butter (or margarine) over the rolled dough and add some grated cheese on top.
• Fold the dough, rolling it into a rod, then twist it slightly and finally form it into a ring by joining the two ends.
• Repeat the process for the remaining 7 pieces of dough.
• Leave the bread rings aside for 20 minutes.
• In a bowl, combine egg yolks and 50 grams of milk, and beat them. Brush this mixture over the bread rings. Finally, sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese on top.
• Preheat the oven to 180 C (355 F) and bake for 25 minutes.
