How Cheese Rolls Are Made (Simplified)

At Valerio’s, we’ve been baking Filipino breads and pastries for decades. While cheese rolls look simple, getting that soft texture and balanced filling takes experience. Here’s the basic process:
  1. 1

    Make the dough

    A soft, slightly sweet yeast dough is mixed and kneaded until smooth and elastic.
  2. 2

    Let it rise

    The dough is rested until light and puffy, creating that signature soft texture.
  3. 3

    Add the cheese filling

    Sweetened cheese is spread evenly over the dough.
  4. 4

    Roll and shape

    The dough is rolled into logs and cut into individual rolls.

    Cheese rolls are baked until lightly golden on the outside and tender on the inside.
