Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water 110°F
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Proof the yeast: combine warm water and sugar, add yeast, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, and melted butter.
  • Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • After rising, punch down the dough to release air, then add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, kneading briefly to combine.
  • Shape the dough into 12 equal balls and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving some space in between.
  • Cover with a towel and let them rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with parsley if desired.
