These cheese rolls are the savory cousin of cinnamon rolls. Soft, delicious bread dough is swirled with cheese that gets crispy and gooey. They are the perfect side to serve with soup or salad.

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cup warm milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 3 1/2 cups flour approximately

Filling:

  • 2-4 cups shredded cheese any variety
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup butter softened

Instructions

  • Add all dough ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix until the dough forms a ball, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Cover bowl with a clean dish towel and let raise in a warm place until double in size, about an hour.
  • Roll dough into a big rectangle. Spread softened (not melted) butter over all the dough. Sprinkle with cheese and seasonings.
  • Starting at the long end of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly just like when you make cinnamon rolls. Cut into slices, place on a baking sheet and raise for 20 minutes or so.
  • Bake at 350 until golden brown and bubbly, about 18-20 minutes. Serve warm.
