Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make Cheesy Bread Roll with Drizzled Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Using your finger, create a small indent in the center of each roll and fill with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Pinch the dough closed to seal the cheese inside.
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and garlic powder, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat.
- Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the warm cheesy bread rolls and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
- Knead the dough thoroughly to develop the gluten for a better texture.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses such as cheddar or gouda for varied flavors.
- If desired, sprinkle some Italian herbs into the dough for added flavor.
Easy Variations
- Add cooked bacon bits or diced jalapeños to the cheese filling for an extra kick.
- Swap the creamy garlic drizzle for a marinara sauce for a different dipping option.
- Incorporate herbs like rosemary or thyme into the dough for an aromatic touch.
What to Serve With It
