Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat and Cook the Filling

  • Step 3: Roll and Seal
  • Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the long edge.
  • Pinch the edges to seal and place seam-side down on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  • Step 4: Bake and Slice
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm!

Notes

💡 Pro Tips Add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning on top before baking for extra flavor. Make it vegetarian by using just cheese, veggies, and a creamy sauce. Store leftovers in foil and reheat in the oven for best texture. Cut diagonally for a more sandwich-style look.
