Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Rolling Pin
- 9x13 inch baking dish
- Pastry brush
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
- 1 cup warm water about 110°F
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- Additional melted butter for brushing
Instructions
Prepare the Yeast Mixture:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter and minced garlic.
Shape the Rolls:
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Spread the garlic butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and then the chopped parsley.
- Roll the dough up, starting from the long edge, and cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls cut side up in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Bake the Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with additional melted butter immediately after taking them out of the oven.
Serve:
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly in the pan before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of garlic based on your preference.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavors.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored and reheated.
- If using active dry yeast, ensure it's fresh for the best rise.
