Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g (2 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 10 g (2 tsp) baking powder
- 6 g (1 tsp) salt
- 8 g (2 tsp) granulated sugar (optional)
- 85 g (6 tbsp) unsalted cold butter, cubed
- 240 ml (1 cup) whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 340 g (12 oz) mozzarella, cut into 12 equal sticks or cubes (~28 g / 1 oz each)
- 30 g (1/4 cup) grated Parmesan (optional for rolling)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar for about 10 seconds.
- Add cold, cubed butter and cut into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together, then fold into the flour mixture until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface, divide into 12 even pieces, and flatten each piece into a disk.
- Place mozzarella in the center of each disk, wrap the dough around the cheese, and pinch to seal.
- Place the seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and chill if warm.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (425°F) for 10–12 minutes until golden brown.
- Finish by brushing with melted butter mixed with minced garlic and serve warm.
Notes
For best results, use low-moisture mozzarella and ensure all seams are tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
