Source  Taste of Home
Recipe Added:  3/30/2012
1 pkg active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110°)
1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 Tbsp honey
1 egg
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp each oregano, basil, rosemary
 Filling
1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded 
1/2 tsp parsley flakes
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp paprika

Topping
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tsp sesame seeds
4 tsp grated Parmesan cheese
n a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, oil, honey, egg, salt, 2 cups flour and herbs. Beat until blended. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Punch dough down and turn onto a floured surface; divide in half. Roll one portion into a 15-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Combine filling ingredients; sprinkle half over dough. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal.

Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together to form a ring. With a sharp knife, cut 1/2-in. slashes at 2-in. intervals. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Brush each ring with egg; sprinkle with sesame seeds and cheese. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.
