Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by mixing warm milk with sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, salt, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Prepare the filling by mixing minced garlic with shredded cheese.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 pieces. Flatten each piece and place filling in the center; seal and shape into balls.
- Place rolls seam-side down in a greased baking dish and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush rolls with melted butter before baking for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, brush again with melted butter, sprinkle parsley on top, and serve warm.
