Tomato-Basil Pull-Apart Rolls

  1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk. In a large bowl, beat egg, tomato paste, oil, salt, yeast mixture and 1 cup flour on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, toss filling ingredients. Punch down dough; turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 16×12-in. rectangle. Sprinkle with filling to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices.
  4. Place, cut side down, in a parchment-lined 10-in. cast-iron skillet. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°.
  5. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove rolls to a wire rack.
