These pull-apart clover rolls are infused with the flavors of the classic Italian pasta dish cacio e pepe (which literally means “cheese and pepper”). The dough is flavored with Pecorino Romano and black pepper, then coated in more cheese and pepper both before and after baking for an umami-rich cheesiness and a tingle of heat in each bite. Eat these rolls alongside any meal — they pair especially well with pasta or a warm bowl of soup. View our entire collection of Holiday Breads here.
