Ingredients
 200 g flour
 10 g sugar
 1 tsp salt
 4 g yeast
 15 g olive oil
 120 ml water
 70 g gouda
 100 g mozzarella
 2 tbsp harissa
Directions
1

Make the dough: In a large bowl or stand mixer stir together the flour, sugar, salt, dried yeast, olive oil, and warm water until a dough begins to form. Turn the dough out on a floured surface and kneed for 5-8 minutes until the dough becomes smooth (you may need to add flour or water depending on consistency).

2

Let the dough rest for at least an hour, or until doubled in size, in an oiled bowl.

3

Roll out of the dough into a large rectangle and coat with the harissa (or other spiced paste) and grated / cubed cheese leaving about 1/2" of space at the edges.

4

Roll the dough up from the long side and section into about 1" cuts as if you were making cinnamon rolls.

5

Place the rolls in a prepared pan (I used a 9x9" glass baking dish that I lightly buttered) and allow to rise again for an hour, turning the oven on to preheat at 200°C halfway through.

6

Bake rolls for about 30-35 minutes or until the tops have browned and the cheese oozes out.
