Cheddar Dinner Rolls
Description
The dough starts with flour, sugar, instant yeast, salt, and garlic powder whisked together, then mixed with warm milk, water, and melted butter to form a soft dough. Sharp cheddar cheese is incorporated into the dough, imparting its distinct flavor and moist texture. Kneading continues until the dough is elastic and springs back when gently pressed.
After resting briefly, the dough is divided into twelve equal portions, shaped into balls by tucking edges underneath to form taut surfaces. The rolls bake to a soft crunch on the outside with a fluffy, cheesy interior crumb. Garlic powder adds a subtle savory note that complements the cheese.
These rolls are suitable for family meals, dinner gatherings, or snacks and pair well with soups, salads, and hearty entrees. Their chewiness and cheese-enhanced flavor make them versatile and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 2 to 2-¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast 1 packet, Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® brand
- ½ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup milk whole
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese finely shredded
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup flour, sugar, Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Instant Yeast, salt and garlic powder in a large bowl; whisk until well combined.
- Combine milk, water and butter in a small microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on HIGH in 15 second increments. If you are using a thermometer, the temperature should be at 120° to 130°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, it should be very warm but not hot to the touch.
- Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes to combine.
- Add 1/4 cup flour and the cheese; stir for 2 minutes. Stir in just enough of the remaining flour (3/4 to 1 cup) so that the dough will form into a ball. Knead on lightly floured surface until the dough is elastic and springs back when lightly pressed with 2 fingers, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Cover with a towel; let rest for 10 minutes.
- Cut dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls using your hands. Do this by bringing the edges of each dough piece underneath to create a taut bubble on top. Place in a greased 8-inch pan.
- Cover with a towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated 375ºF oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan by running a knife around the edges and invert onto a wire rack; brush with additional melted butter and sprinkle with flakey salt.
