  5. Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough tightly while keeping the filling inside.
  6. Pinch the edges to seal the rolled dough and place it seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
  7. Brush the melted butter over the top of the loaf for color and flavor.
Baking

For a pop of flavor, try different cheese options and toppings. Fresh herbs can enhance both taste and presentation. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
