In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Pour the warm water into the dry mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until well combined. The dough will be sticky, which is normal.
Stir in the melted butter until incorporated. Then fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for topping. Mix until the cheese is evenly distributed.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Using a greased spoon or your hands generously coated in butter or oil, divide the dough into 12 roughly equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place it in the prepared baking dish, leaving a small gap between each roll.
Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the rolls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top and cooked through. You can check doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center of a roll—it should come out clean.
Optional: Brush the tops of the hot rolls with additional melted butter for extra flavor and shine.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or snack!
