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
- 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.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
