Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Bread Dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 3 cloves Minced Garlic
- 1 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 1 cup Chopped Fresh Basil
- 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (or sharp cheddar as substitute)
- 1/2 cup Melted Butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Allow the bread dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, usually about 1 to 2 hours, ensuring a soft and airy base.
- Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour your surface, punch down the risen dough to release air, then roll it out into a thin rectangular shape about ¼-inch thick for an even bake.
- Make Garlic Herb Butter: Combine the melted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and basil until fully blended and fragrant to infuse the dough with flavor.
- Spread Mixture: Evenly spread the garlic herb butter over the rolled-out dough to distribute flavor consistently.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered dough to ensure maximum cheesiness.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough into a log shape, then slice it into 1 to 2-inch pieces, creating individual swirls of garlic and cheese.
- Arrange in Pan: Place the sliced rolls upright in a greased baking dish, ensuring they hold their shape and bake evenly.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until they turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving warm to enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness.
Notes
- You can substitute Parmesan with sharp cheddar for a stronger cheese flavor.
- Ensure the dough is not too thick when rolled out to allow even baking.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor impact in the garlic herb butter.
- Let the bread cool slightly before serving to avoid burns and enhance texture.
