Puff pastry roll with cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients. To prepare such a roll, you need a minimum of ingredients, especially if you use ready-made store-bought puff pastry. You can prepare puff pastry at home and freeze it in the freezer for future use, and then defrost it on occasion and use it for baking.

2. STEP 2

   

   Dissolve sugar and salt in a glass of warm water. Remove the butter from the refrigerator and let it soften while you prepare the dough base.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour the mixture into a bowl, beat the egg into it. Shake it up. Add a tablespoon of vinegar (9%). Stir the mixture.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour sifted flour into this mixture in parts. And knead the dough. We look at the consistency of the dough. The dough should be elastic and soft, not stick to your hands.

5. STEP 5

   

   If necessary, add a little flour. Roll the dough into a ball.

6. STEP 6

   

   Divide the softened butter into four equal pieces. We also divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roll out each piece of dough on a floured board into a thin rectangular layer about 3 mm thick.

8. STEP 8

   

   Spread it with butter, distributing it evenly over the dough with a spatula. For each piece of dough, a piece of butter.

9. STEP 9

   

   We fold the dough several times into an envelope and roll it out each time with a rolling pin. We put it in the freezer for storage or proceed to preparing products from it.

10. STEP 10

    

    To prepare one roll, one layer of puff pastry is enough. Defrost the dough and roll it into a thin rectangular layer.

11. STEP 11

    

    You can take any type of hard cheese depending on your taste and availability. But it is better to use a saltier type of cheese, then the filling will not need to be added. Grate hard cheese on a medium grater.

12. STEP 12

    

    You can also take fresh herbs according to taste and availability. However, it is better to use a set of herbs: parsley, dill, cilantro, basil and so on. Then the taste of the filling will be very unusual, aromatic and rich, and everyone who tastes such baked goods will find some particularly pleasant aromatic note in it. We wash fresh greens well under running water, let the water drain, and chop finely with a knife.

13. STEP 13

    

    Spread the grated cheese on the dough in an even layer around the entire perimeter.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place the washed and dried greens on a layer of cheese.

15. STEP 15

    

    Carefully roll the roll, twisting the ends so that the filling does not fall out of the dough.

16. STEP 16

    

    We make longitudinal cuts diagonally on the roll so that the layers and filling become visible. In a bowl, beat the chicken egg with a pinch of salt. Brush the top of the roll with beaten egg. To grease such a roll, half a raw chicken egg will be enough. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the roll for about 20 minutes, until golden brown. Serve the roll to the table when it has cooled a little, so that guests do not get burned by the melted cheese. Enjoy your tea!
