Cacio e pepe stuffed rolls

Edd Kimber’s seriously cheesy bread rolls are inspired by his favourite pasta dish, cacio e pepe, a classic of Roman cuisine. “The filling of these buns is made with ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan, not the cheeses found in the classic pasta dish, but they create a great cheesy filling. The buns are also seasoned with lots of black pepper, but you can halve the amount if you don’t want such a strong flavour,” says Edd.

  1. These buns are best served while warm so that the cheese is still gooey. You can also store them in a sealed container in the fridge for a couple of days, reheating them at 160°C fan/gas 4 for about 10 minutes.
