Cheese-Filled Garlic Rolls

Source of Recipe

From "Taste of Home Half Homemade"


Recipe Introduction

"To change up plain old dinner rolls, I added mozzarella cheese. Now my family wants them at every gathering. I don't mind, even in a time crunch."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
â—¦ 24 cubes part-skim mozzarella cheese (¾ inch each, about 10 ounces)
â—¦ 3 tablespoons butter, melted
â—¦ 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
â—¦ 1 clove garlic, minced
â—¦ ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
â—¦ ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
â—¦ 2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese


Recipe

Divide the dough into 24 portions. Shape each portion around a cheese cube to cover completely; pinch to seal. Place each roll in a greased muffin cup, seam side down. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a small bowl, mix butter, parsley, garlic, Italian seasoning, and pepper flakes. Brush over rolls; sprinkle with cheese. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.

Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans. Serve warm.
