Ingredients

Bread Dough

  • 1 pound bread dough (thawed according to package instructions)

Fillings

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Ensure the frozen bread dough is completely thawed according to the package directions before starting.
  2. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×9-inch square baking pan using cooking spray and preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃).
  3. Roll out the Dough: Place the thawed dough on a clean surface and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 14 inches by 10 inches.
  4. Spread Butter and Garlic: Evenly spread the softened butter over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle the minced garlic on top, distributing it evenly.
  5. Add Cheese and Parsley: Sprinkle 3/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan along with the chopped parsley evenly over the butter and garlic layer.
  6. Roll and Slice: Roll the dough up tightly into a log shape, then use a serrated knife to cut it into 9 equal-sized slices.
  7. Arrange Rolls: Place the slices in the prepared baking pan in three rows of three, ensuring they fit snugly.
  8. Top with Remaining Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese over the tops of the rolls.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Serve Warm: Remove from oven and enjoy the cheesy garlic rolls warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure bread dough is fully thawed to ensure even baking and optimal texture.
  • Use a serrated knife to avoid squishing the rolled dough when cutting slices.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with other melty cheeses like provolone or cheddar if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle additional parsley on top after baking.
  • Serve these rolls as a side dish with soups, salads, or pasta.
