Soft and Cheesy Stuffed Bread Rolls

Mixed Cheeses: Turkish cheese, cheddar, and mozzarella (or any cheese you prefer)
Bell Peppers: Small pieces of red and yellow (optional)
Additional Options: Chopped tomatoes, parsley, or olives

For Topping and Glaze:

Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, sugar, yeast, and oil. Stir until the yeast and sugar dissolve.
- Gradually add sifted flour, starting with 3 cups. Add salt, mixing until combined. Slowly add the remaining flour as needed until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough until smooth, adding a few drops of oil if necessary. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling
- Mix your preferred cheeses (Turkish, cheddar, and mozzarella) in a bowl. Add small pieces of red and yellow bell peppers, tomatoes, parsley, or olives for extra flavor.
Shape the Rolls
- Punch down the dough to remove air and divide it into two portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
- Take one portion, roll it flat, and add a spoonful of filling. Roll the dough over the filling to seal and shape into rolls.
- Cut into slices for easy serving and place them on a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Glaze and Top
- In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk, oil, and milk for a glossy finish. Brush each roll with this mixture.
- Optionally, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake the Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
Serve
- Let cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite side.
