- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
2. Add the melted butter, warm milk, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
5. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix together the Gouda cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and black pepper.
6. After the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal portions.
7. Flatten each portion into a disc and place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center.
8. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the cheese inside.
9. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
