These Buttery Cheese Garlic Rolls are soft, fluffy, and packed with savory flavor. Filled with garlic butter and melty cheese, they make the perfect side for any meal or a delicious snack on their own.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons garlic butter (for filling and brushing)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Add warm milk and melted butter. Mix to form a soft dough and knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions (6–8 pieces).
- Flatten each piece, spread a little garlic butter and shredded cheese inside, then roll into a ball, sealing the edges.
- Place rolls in a greased baking pan and cover. Let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the tops with garlic butter and bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Brush with more garlic butter after baking and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- You can use any melty cheese like mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix.
- For stronger garlic flavor, add minced garlic to the butter.
- Make-ahead tip: Prepare rolls and refrigerate before second rise. Bake when ready.
- Serve warm for best taste and texture.
