3. Shape the rolls
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
Roll out dough into a rectangle. Spread filling evenly.
Roll tightly like a log and slice into 8–10 rolls.
Place on a greased baking tray, cut side up.
4. Bake
Brush with little olive oil, sprinkle sesame seeds and extra cheese.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and cheesy.
