Ingredients required for Cheese Bread Rolls
- 2 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 8 packs cheese
- 5 gms yeast
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 large eggs
- 1 clove garlic
- 2-3 tbsp parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs
Cooking steps for Cheese Bread Rolls
- 1Begin the recipe of cheese bread rolls by activating 5g (2 Tsp) of active dry yeast.
- 2Combine the yeast with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 cup warm water, letting it rest for 5-10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.
- 3This activation step ensures the yeast is alive and ready to make your rolls fluffy and light.
- 4Add the activated yeast mixture to a bowl along with the remaining sugar, 1 large egg, and ¼ cup melted salted butter.
- 5Mix well, then gradually add 21/2 cups of bread flour and 1/2 Tsp fine sea salt.
- 6Knead the dough for about 10 minutes in a stand mixer (or 15-20 minutes by hand) until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- 7If the dough is sticky, add 2-4 tablespoons of flour, one spoon at a time, until it pulls away from the bowl's edges.
- 8Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- 9While the dough is rising, prepare 8 packs of string cheese by cutting them into 24 small pieces.
- 10Punch down the risen dough, transfer it to a floured surface, and roll it into an 8x12-inch rectangle.
- 11Cut the dough into 24 squares using a knife or pizza cutter.
- 12Place a piece of cheese on each square, folding the dough over the cheese and pinching the edges tightly to seal.
- 13This ensures the cheese stays inside the bread rolls while baking.
- 14Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9x13-inch pan, leaving some space between each roll for rising.
- 15Cover the pan and let the cheese bread rolls rise again for 45-60 minutes until doubled in size.
- 16Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C) while the rolls finish rising.
- 17Pour 1/2 cup heavy cream over the rolls for extra softness and richness.
- 18Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of shredded Parmesan cheese over the rolls for a cheesy, golden topping.
- 19Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese bread rolls are puffed and golden brown.
- 20While the rolls bake, prepare a garlic herb butter topping by melting butter and mixing in salt, garlic, and chopped herbs like parsley or oregano.
- 21Once baked, brush the warm rolls with garlic herb butter for a fragrant, glossy finish.
- 22Serve the cheese bread rolls warm as a side dish, snack, or standalone treat.
- 23These cheese bread rolls are irresistibly soft, gooey, and packed with cheesy goodness—perfect for any occasion.

FAQs
Can I make cheese bread rolls with any cheese?
Yes, of course. You can use a variety of cheeses; it's only up to your preference. Mozzarella is often used because this cheese melts well and has a very mild flavour. Cheddar is another great option; it's sharp in taste. One may even use a mix of cheeses for added complexity of taste. Other cheeses, such as gouda, parmesan, or cream cheese, can be experimented with for varying textures and flavours. Make sure to select ones that melt well however.
Can cheese bread rolls be prepared ahead?
Yes. Cheese bread rolls can be prepared ahead of time. One can refrigerate or freeze the rolls after shaping before baking. If refrigerating, let the rolls sit for up to 24 hours before baking. If freezing, put the rolls in an airtight container or freezer bag, and you can bake them straight from frozen if you thaw them at room temperature for a few hours. This is a great way to prepare for parties or busy days so you can bake fresh when needed.
Can I make cheese bread rolls without yeast?
But yes, you can make yeast-free cheese bread rolls using a dough without yeast but with baking powder instead. This quick version will save you from the rising time: faster to prepare it is. The texture would differ: close to biscuits rather than soft, airy bread. However, filling those rolls with melted cheese will still be delicious. Other alternative options could be storing dough -for example, pizza dough or puff pastry- to prepare even quicker.
