Ingredients

Dough

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast 1 packet
¾ cup warm milk
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 large egg
3 tbsp unsalted butter softened
½ tsp salt

Garlic Butter Topping

4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
½ tsp salt

Cheese Topping

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add egg, softened butter, and salt to the yeast mixture.
Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.

Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it.
Let the dough rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Shape the Rolls

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape into balls.
Place them in a greased baking dish.

Second Rise

Cover and let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes.

Add Garlic Butter and Cheese

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, and salt in a small bowl.
Brush the garlic butter over the rolls and sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve

Brush with extra garlic butter if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
For extra richness, brush garlic butter both before and after baking.
If you prefer crisp edges, bake the rolls in a cast iron skillet.
Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-packaged shredded cheese.
