Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add salt, oil, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic butter. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 12×18 inches.
- Spread the garlic butter evenly over the dough rectangle.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the garlic butter.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal rolls.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
