Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, divided, plus more as needed
  • 1 (1 1/4-ounce) packet Fleischmann’s RapidRise Yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for topping
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup very warm milk (120°-130°, microwaved about 40 seconds)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella, divided

Topping Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons freshly chopped parsley
  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, Fleischmann’s RapidRise yeast, sugar, salt, and garlic powder until well combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together beaten eggs, warm milk, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella, stirring until the dough starts to come together.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough, adding flour as needed if sticky, for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Initial Dough Rest: Place the kneaded dough in a clean bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grease a 9” x 13” baking pan with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Shape the Rolls: Divide the rested dough into 15 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them evenly spaced in the prepared baking pan. Cover the pan with a dish towel and let the rolls rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. Prepare Garlic Butter Topping: Towards the end of the rising time, mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  7. Apply Topping: Brush the prepared garlic butter mixture generously over the risen rolls. Sprinkle the rolls with freshly grated Parmesan and the remaining 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake the Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown on top. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use warm milk (120°-130°F) to activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Knead the dough until elastic but not too stiff; add flour sparingly.
  • Let the rolls rise until doubled for soft, airy texture.
  • Brush garlic butter evenly for maximum flavor.
  • Serve these rolls fresh out of the oven for best taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
