So, what do you do if you have leftover homemade pizza dough? (Is that REALLY possible? 🤔). Or, what if you simply want something sweet and savory for breakfast, a snack, or a bit of a dessert? Something with a hint of sweet, a slight bit of tang, and that chewy, crusty doughy rich pizza or breakfast roll desire we all have at some point or another …
Well, I have the solution? Honey Apricot Stilton Breakfast Rolls
We have the savory, great goodness of homemade “pizza” or bread dough, amazing and fresh local honey, as well as Apricot Stilton Cheese, all rolled up into a mountainous roll of palate perfection.
Yup. Any day, any time.
Apricot lovers beware: it’s tart, it’s tangy, it’s sweet, it’s crunchy, it’s delicious. Oh, and need it be said that this recipe is totally delicious?
Honey Apricot Stilton Breakfast Rolls 🍯🍑🧀🥐
Honey Apricot Stilton Breakfast Rolls
Basic Pizza Dough:**
1 pkg. active dry yeast (1/4 oz)
1 tsp. white sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 tsp. sea salt
1-2 Tbs. butter, room temperature
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in 1 cup warm water and let sit for 5 minutes.
Using a dough hook on a stand mixer (or by hand) combine the dissolved yeast mixture, flour, 2 Tbs. olive oil, and salt. Form into a nice dough ball. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Divide the ball into 2-3 smaller pieces (or keep one larger roll) and roughly form into a pizza form. Rustic forms are best, in my opinion. Flour your hands to prevent sticking. You can try tossing, rolling, stretching…whatever your heart desires.
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and butter with room temperature butter (about 1 Tbs. total).
Set aside for the next steps.
Honey Apricot Stilton Filling:
2 Tbs. butter, room temperature (repeat ingredient from above)
2 Tbs. local, raw honey
8 oz. Apricot Stilton cheese, crumbled
As the roll/pizza dough is rising, gather your local honey, Apricot Stilton cheese, and any additional salt you may desire.
Once the crust is ready, slather the butter over each of the 3 rustic pieces. Next, slather in honey. Then sprinkle with the lemon cheese. Add fresh lemon zest, if desired.
Roll each rustic oval into a long round and then twist to form a “cinnamon roll” like figure.
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes, until golden brown on top and oozing with goodness.
Cool for several minutes before breaking into and devouring this amazingness.
