Cheese, Garlic and Butter need I say more.  The perfect combination is all bundled up in this roll.  If you are wanting to be a little bit healthier serve it along side some soup or a salad loaded with veggies.

Ingredients:

French Bread Dough

• 1 Tbsp. yeast
• 1 1/2 c. warm water
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 4-5 1/2 c. flour
• 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 egg yolk

Garlic Butter:

• 1/2 c. (1 stick) of real butter, no substitutions
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. garlic bread seasoning
• Shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Combine yeast, water, and sugar in large mixing bowl and allow to stand 10 minutes or until bubbly. Add salt, vegetable oil, and egg yolk (set white aside for later) and combine. Add 3 c. flour and mix well until combined. Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough that barely sticks to your finger. Knead, either by hand or in mixer (my personal and very lazy choice) for another 2-3 minutes. Cover and allow to rise 1 hour.

While dough is rising, combine butter and garlic bread seasoning. Set aside. Roll your dough into a rectangle that’s about 18-20 inches by 6 inches. Smear garlic butter over the entire surface of the dough and then sprinkle with cheese.

Roll up jelly-roll style and then use dental floss to cut into 12 equal slices.  Place each slice in a muffin tin. Cover with a clean cloth. Preheat oven to 350 and allow rolls to rise while the oven is heating.

When the oven is ready, bake for 18-22 minutes.

You’re going to need to keep a CLOSE eye on these puppies during the last 10 minutes or so–once you notice the cheese getting brown, place a sheet of aluminum foil over the rolls (you don’t need to press it down or anything, just lay it on top). This will keep the cheese from burning, although it will get pretty brown on top. It’s okay, though, because the insides are still all ooey-gooey.
