Tomato-Basil Pull-Apart Rolls
My nephew helped me create these soft and colorful rolls. He named them “wheelies” because the spiral shapes reminded him of his toy trucks. —Dianna Wara, Washington, Illinois

Securely wrap cooled rolls in foil; place in an airtight container. To use, partially thaw overnight in refrigerator. Reheat rolls, wrapped in foil, in a preheated 300° oven until warm, about 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups bread flour

- 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions

1Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk. In a large bowl, beat egg, tomato paste, oil, salt, yeast mixture and 1 cup flour on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).

3In a bowl, toss filling ingredients. Punch down dough; turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 16x12-in. rectangle. Sprinkle with filling to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices.
-
4Place, cut side down, in a parchment-lined 10-in. cast-iron skillet. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°.
-
5Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove rolls to a wire rack.
