Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or rosemary), chopped
  • Optional: additional cheese for topping

How to Make Savory Cheese and Herb Bread Rolls

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
  3. Mix until a dough begins to form. Add the shredded cheese and chopped herbs, mixing until evenly incorporated.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet.
  7. If desired, sprinkle additional cheese on top of each roll.
  8. Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly to develop a good texture.
  • For a golden crust, brush the rolls with olive oil before baking.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like feta, gouda, or even blue cheese for varied flavors.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the herbs for dried Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.
  • Add minced garlic to the dough for an extra kick.
  • Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes or olives into the dough for a Mediterranean twist.

What to Serve With It

  • A hearty vegetable soup or chili for a comforting meal.
  • A fresh garden salad drizzled with vinaigrette.
  • Charcuterie boards for a delightful appetizer spread.
  • Dipping sauces like marinara or garlic butter for extra flavor.

Storage and Reheating

These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
