Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (or use store-bought dough)
  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (around 110°F)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Garlic Cheese Filling

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella + sharp cheddar mix)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Activate yeast: Dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk mixed with sugar and let it sit until foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Prepare dough base: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt to create the dry mix.
  3. Mix dough: Add softened butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise until it doubles in size, providing a light and airy texture.
  5. Make garlic butter filling: In a separate bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  6. Prepare cheese mix: Combine shredded mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese with grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Roll out dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle, ready to be spread with filling.
  8. Spread garlic butter: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the rolled-out dough, ensuring full coverage.
  9. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly on top of the garlic butter layer.
  10. Form rolls: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape to encase the filling.
  11. Cut rolls: Slice the rolled dough into individual rolls of desired thickness for serving.
  12. Second rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise again until puffy and nearly doubled in size.
  13. Preheat oven: Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
  14. Bake rolls: Bake the garlic cheese rolls until they turn golden brown and bubbly, approximately 20-25 minutes.
  15. Optional finishing touch: Brush the hot rolls with additional garlic butter for extra flavor and shine.
  16. Cool and serve: Allow the rolls to cool for 5 minutes before serving to enjoy warm, melty garlic cheesy goodness.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought dough to save time.
  • Adjust the cheese types and amounts to your preference.
  • Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • For a stronger garlic flavor, add extra minced garlic to the butter spread.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
