Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Garlic Butter & Cheese Filling

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Activate the yeast by dissolving it in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar, then gradually add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter and Cheese: While the dough rises, melt butter in a small pan and sauté minced garlic until fragrant but not browned. Stir in chopped parsley if using. Allow the garlic butter to cool slightly. Grate mozzarella and prepare parmesan for topping.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Brush the dough evenly with garlic butter, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the surface. Roll the dough tightly from one edge into a log and pinch the seams closed.
  4. Cut and Second Rise: Slice the dough log into 8-10 even rolls and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving space between each. Cover and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with remaining garlic butter and sprinkle parmesan cheese over them. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Do not skip the second rise to ensure light, fluffy rolls.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the dough rise better.
  • Brushing with reserved garlic butter keeps the crust soft and flavorful.
  • Be generous and even with cheese to ensure a gooey center in every roll.
