Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or additional melted butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
Add the melted butter and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or larger sheet pan.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a circle, place a small pinch of mozzarella in the center, and fold the edges over the cheese to form a ball. Pinch the seams closed tightly.
Arrange the dough balls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, parsley, and olive oil or melted butter. Brush the mixture generously over the rolls.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
Optional: Brush the warm rolls with additional melted butter and garnish with extra parsley for a glossy finish.
Serve warm and enjoy the melty, cheesy, and garlicky goodness!
