Ingredients

Roasted Garlic Ingredients:

  • 1 head garlic
  • olive oil
  • salt

Cheesy Roll Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 2/3 cup warm water
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil divided

Instructions

  • To make the roasted garlic, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut the top 1/4 inch off the garlic head. Place the garlic on a sheet with aluminum foil. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Close foil around garlic and roasted in preheated oven for 40 - 50 minutes or until cloves are golden brown. Remove from oven allow to cool.
  • While garlic is roasting, prepare dough by dissolving yeast in 2/3 cup warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Allow to proof for 5 minutes. Add in1 1/2 cups flour and salt. Turn mixer on to medium-high. And mix just until the dough comes together. If the dough seems sticky add remaining tablespoons of flour. Turn the mixer down to medium and continue mixing until a smooth ball forms. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm, dark place for 45 - 60 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
  • After dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to an 11 x 9 rectangle.
  • Use a fork to remove the roasted garlic cloves. Mix roasted garlic with 1 teaspoon olive oil in a bowl. Spread on the dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Working away from you, roll the dough. Use a serrated knife to cut the dough into 10 - 12 rolls.
  • Grease a 9 inch pie pan. Place the rolls in prepared pan. Cover and play in a cool dark place to rise for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Brush the rolls with remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Bake in preheated oven 15 - 20 minutes or until rolls have started to brown on top. Turn on the broiler for 2 minutes and broil until golden brown.
