Garlic Cheese Rolls

Soft and fluffy Garlic Cheese Rolls filled with gooey mozzarella, Parmesan, and garlic. These savory rolls are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp granulated sugar

1 packet instant yeast (about 2 ¼ tsp)

1 tsp salt

3/4 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 cloves garlic minced

2 tbsp butter melted

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Stir in warm water and olive oil until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle about ½-inch thick.

Spread melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle with garlic, mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces. Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
