4.2 from 76 reviews

These soft and cheesy garlic rolls are filled with a savory blend of butter, mozzarella, and just the right amount of garlic. Perfectly baked to golden perfection, they make an irresistible side dish for any meal and are best enjoyed fresh and warm right out of the oven.

  • Total Time: 42-45 minutes
  • Yield: 9 rolls

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 pound bread dough (thawed)

Filling

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (or 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic)
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
  • Remaining 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
  • Remaining 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prep Dough: Make sure the frozen bread dough is completely thawed according to package instructions before starting.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃).
  3. Roll Out Dough: On a clean surface, roll out the thawed bread dough into a rectangle approximately 14 inches by 10 inches.
  4. Spread Butter and Garlic: Evenly spread the softened butter all over the dough. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the butter layer, spreading it out if necessary for even flavor.
  5. Add Cheese and Parsley: Sprinkle 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon chopped parsley evenly on top of the butter-garlic layer.
  6. Roll the Dough: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long edge to form a log shape.
  7. Slice Rolls: Using a serrated knife, cut the dough log into 9 equal-sized slices.
  8. Arrange in Pan: Place the rolls cut side up in the prepared baking pan in three rows of three.
  9. Add Remaining Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the rolls.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and enjoy the cheesy garlic rolls warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • If fresh minced garlic is not available, substitute with 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic for similar flavor.
  • A 9x9-inch square baking pan is ideal; if unavailable, a 7x11-inch pan can be used as a substitute.
  • This recipe also works well with a 13.8-ounce tube of refrigerated pizza dough, although frozen bread dough yields preferred texture and flavor.
