Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make Cheesy Stuffed Garlic Bread Rolls:

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
  • ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 12 cubes of mozzarella cheese (about 1-inch cubes)

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, egg, and frothy yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.
  5. First Proof: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Assemble the Rolls:

  1. Divide the Dough: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  2. Stuff with Cheese: Flatten each piece of dough into a circle, place a mozzarella cube in the center, and wrap the dough around it, pinching the edges to seal. Roll gently into a smooth ball.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the stuffed rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
  4. Second Proof: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for 30 minutes until puffy.

Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping:

  1. Mix the Topping: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Stir well.

Bake and Serve:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brush Rolls with Garlic Butter: Generously brush the proofed rolls with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if using.
  3. Bake: Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Brush with additional garlic butter for extra flavor.
