Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 unit Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Gradually pour in the warm milk while stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Add 2 tablespoons of softened butter to the dough and knead again until fully incorporated.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x16 inches.
Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the dough.
In a small bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Pinch the seam to seal it.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices.
Place the pinwheel slices, cut side up, onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll for expansion during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the rolls for garnish before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesy Pinwheel Rolls!
