Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Place the yeast and water in a large bowl and stir until dissolved. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of flour. Stir in the salt, cardamom and mace. Stir in the honey, butter and pistachios.
Step 2
Gradually add flour until the dough becomes too difficult to stir. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes, adding enough flour to make a soft but not sticky dough. Butter a bowl, shape the dough into a ball, place in the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Step 3
Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape 1 piece of dough into a ball. Press about 1½ teaspoons of the cheese into the center and seal around the cheese, forming the dough back into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 baking sheets and divide the rolls between them. Cover with towels and let rise for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Bake until the rolls are nicely browned, about 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through the cooking time. Serve rolls warm, passing honey to drizzle over them.
