2. Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Bread Rolls

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Cheesy Garlic Rolls

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add the flour, salt, and melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Make the Garlic Butter Mixture

While the dough is rising, melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic. Set aside for flavor infusion.

Shape the Rolls

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Fill and Top the Rolls

Brush the garlic butter generously over each dough ball. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the tops. For extra flavor, add chopped parsley on top of the cheese.

Bake the Garlic Rolls

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Remove from oven and brush with remaining garlic butter for extra richness.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Cheesy Garlic Rolls

Allow the rolls to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container or wrap tightly with plastic wrap. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for best results.

5. Serving Suggestions for Garlic Bread Rolls

Serve these garlic bread rolls alongside a hearty bowl of lasagna soup or a fresh salad. They also pair beautifully with cozy autumn tortellini soup for a comforting meal. For a fun twist, try turning these into cheesy garlic knots by tying the dough before baking.
