Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp yeast optional for softer texture
Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt Butter and Liquids
- In a small saucepan, melt butter with milk and water. Remove from heat when combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and yeast. Stir until well blended.
Combine Wet and Dry
- Pour the butter mixture into the flour. Mix until dough forms a smooth, sticky ball.
Add Eggs
- Add eggs one at a time. Mix until fully incorporated into the dough.
Incorporate Cheese
- Fold shredded cheese into dough. Ensure cheese is evenly spread throughout.
Shape Rolls
- Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each into a small oval or round roll.
Arrange on Baking Sheet
- Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between each roll.
Bake Rolls
- Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden brown. The tops should be slightly crisp and cheese melted.
Cool Slightly and Serve
- Let rolls cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm for best cheesy texture.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese, not pre-shredded, for better melt.
- Brush tops with melted butter before baking for extra shine.
- You can freeze unbaked rolls and bake later for fresh treats.
- Add a pinch of garlic powder for a subtle flavor twist.
- Serve immediately for soft and gooey cheese inside.
