Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 Egg
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it turns frothy.

Step 2

Add the melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, melted butter (2 tablespoons), Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Set aside for later.

Step 6

After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a small circle and place about 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese in the center. Pinch the edges together to form a ball, sealing in the cheese.

Step 7

Place the cheese-filled dough balls seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.

Step 10

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley and Parmesan cheese for presentation.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy the gooey cheesy goodness!
