Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour Can use whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast For the rise.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar Helps activate the yeast.
  • 1 cup warm milk Not too hot or too cold.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter Adds richness. Reserve some for brushing.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Mozzarella recommended for meltiness.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Use fresh garlic for best flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Gradually add the warm milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
  5. Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Brush melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle minced garlic and shredded cheese evenly on top.
  7. Roll the dough tightly from the long side to form a log, then slice into equal pieces about 12 rolls.
  8. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops with a little more melted butter before baking.
  2. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
