Homemade Cheesy Garlic Bread Rolls

Ingredients for Dough:

• 2 cups plus 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour (300g)
• 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm milk
• 1 slightly heaping tablespoon sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 teaspoon instant dry yeast

For Garlic Butter Spread:

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons chives or green onion, finely chopped
• Grated mozzarella cheese, as needed

Preparation Steps:

1. In your stand mixer, combine flour, warm milk, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix until just incorporated.
2. Add the softened butter to the mixture and knead on a medium to high setting for 10-15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
3. Cover the dough with a cloth and allow it to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
4. For the garlic butter, stir together the softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and chives in a bowl. Set this mixture aside for later.
5. After the dough has doubled, turn it out onto a surface and roll it into a large rectangle. Cut the dough into triangles.
6. Place a generous amount of mozzarella cheese on the wide end of each triangle.
7. Roll up the triangles starting from the cheese-filled end and place them point-side down in a greased baking dish.
8. Cover the rolls and let them rise again until they’ve doubled in size.
9. Brush each roll with an egg wash made from one egg yolk beaten with a splash of milk.
10. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until the rolls are golden brown on top.
11. As soon as they come out of the oven, brush the tops generously with the prepared garlic butter.

Serve and Enjoy:

• Serve these golden, cheesy garlic bread rolls warm, ideally fresh from the oven for the best experience.

These garlic bread rolls are the perfect accompaniment to any meal or a delicious snack on their own. The melty mozzarella center and flavorful garlic butter topping make them irresistible.
