The grated carrot is stirred in and the filling is finished with fresh parsley, then left to cool completely before stuffing.
2. Kneading & Shaping the Rolls
Mix the flour, milk, and yeast until you have a soft, elastic dough. Let it rise for 45 minutes. Divide into small balls. Flatten each ball, place a generous spoonful of the filling and cheese in the center, and pinch the edges together to seal it into a neat round roll.
