No-Yeast Rolls with Zucchini and Provolone

The no-yeast rolls with zucchini and provolone are super soft rustic buns, ready in less than an hour thanks to the presence of instant yeast. They are very easy, and the zucchini can be replaced with various types of vegetables, such as peppers, spinach, and so on, especially if already cooked and left over from previous recipes. Prepare them for a buffet, an impromptu lunch, or when you crave something tasty yet quick and flavorful for dinner. The no-yeast rolls with zucchini and provolone can be enjoyed plain as a snack, a quick bite, or stuffed, just as we enjoyed them, with arugula, radicchio, and cherry tomatoes.
