Description

Deliciously soft and cheesy garlic bread rolls perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:

    In a bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it stand for about 5 minutes or until foamy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter:

    In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.

  3. Assemble the Rolls:

    Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small balls (about 12-14). Flatten each ball slightly and fill the center with a mix of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Pinch the edges to seal and shape into rolls. Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish.

  4. Bake:

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the garlic butter generously over the rolls. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Garnish and Serve:

    Once baked, brush any remaining garlic butter over the rolls. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure the water is warm (about 110°F or 45°C) to activate the yeast properly.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
  • You can replace the mozzarella with other cheeses like cheddar or a cheese blend for different taste profiles.
  • To make ahead, prepare and shape the rolls, then refrigerate. Allow them to come to room temperature and rise slightly before baking.
