05 - Punch down the risen dough and divide into 24 equal portions.
06 - Flatten each portion, add a pinch of mozzarella, parmesan, and chopped herbs, then seal and shape into a ball.
07 - Place the dough balls close together in a ring shape on the prepared baking sheet.
08 - Brush the dough balls with olive oil and beaten egg. Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds if using.
09 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
