Ingredients
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
– 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
– ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
– ¼ cup melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own batch of Buttery Cheese Garlic Rolls:
1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and eggs. Add the activated yeast mixture and mix well.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
7. Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece, place a generous amount of the cheese filling in the center, and fold the dough around it to form a ball.
8. Second Rise: Place the rolls seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
9. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Brush with Butter: Once the rolls have risen, brush the tops with melted butter.
11. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
12. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and brush with more melted butter before serving.
