Fluffy, golden-brown rolls oozing with melted cheese and hints of garlic, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., mozzarella or cheddar)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Prep the yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm water with sugar and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
- Mix it up: Pour the foamy yeast mixture into the well along with olive oil. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
- Knead it out: Sprinkle flour on your work surface and turn out the dough. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let it rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Prepare the filling: Mix shredded cheese, minced garlic, and oregano in a bowl.
- Shape the rolls: Punch down the risen dough, divide into 12 pieces, and flatten each into a disc.
- Fill ‘er up: Add a spoonful of the cheese-garlic mixture in each disc and fold the edges to seal.
- Second rise: Place filled rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Butter them up: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the rolls with melted butter.
- Bake to perfection: Bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Let cool slightly, then serve warm.
Notes
Serve with marinara sauce or garlic butter for dipping. Great with soups or as part of a cheese board.
