Cheese Stuffed Dinner Rolls

If you love soft dinner rolls then you will adore these beauties with cheese, brushed with butter, garlic and herbs.

From time to time my kids would request the addition of pepperoni or make them like pizza rolls.

What can I say? I just love making them happy.

Basically, this is my all-purpose dough. I have tested so many baked goodies using this dough that I can’t even tell you.

We are talking about savory rolls, pizza, pizza rolls, different types of twist bread, and so forth.

As we are all aware that I am not some kind of amazing cake baker, but when it comes to baked goodies I fully stand by my recipes made with dough. Proudly!

Cheese Stuffed Dinner Rolls

Well, my husband and daughter devoured this tray of rolls while watching football. I mean those two love anything carbolicious as well as with cheese.

They kept dipping in the delicious marinara sauce. While I almost cried watching them, because following a low-carb lifestyle sometimes sucks.

Especially when you not only love carbs but make them all the freaking time.

However, in my opinion, it is all in moderation as well as balance.

Anyhow, I have been making these for years. Also, I enjoyed them many times myself so that’s why I fully recommend making these fluffy rolls.

Tasty, warm and easy recipe for Cheese Stuffed Dinner Rolls

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Additional WAITING Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5 cups all-purpose flour, reserve some for dusting
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 pack active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup of whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 1 pack mozzarella string cheese cut into 2-inch cylinders
  • 1/2 package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup garlic and herb butter for brushing
  • Or use unsalted butter with 1 teaspoon garlic powder + 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the flour and salt, mix it, then add dried yeast and sugar.
  2. Add melted butter, and warm to touch milk. Start kneading at medium speed until the dough is formed and pulling away from the side of the bowl.
  3. Cover and allow the dough to rise for about 60 minutes, but you can let it rise for up to 3 hours.
  4. Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a countertop or any work area such as a clean cutting board.
  5. Divide the dough in half then into quarters. Divide each quarter into 8 equal size balls. (or you can divide those 8 into half and make smaller rolls, which would make 16).
  6. Stretch each bowl and add a generous amount of room temperature cream cheese and about 1/2 stick of sliced string cheese.
  7. Pull the dough around the cheese to form a ball then pinch the dough tightly so that the cheese doesn’t melt out during baking. 
  8. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking pan or non-stick pan and make sure they are about 1/2 inch apart. Cover and let rise for about 30 additional minutes. Brush with melted garlic and herbs butter, or you could make your own (step 10.)
  9. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
  10. Melt more garlic and herb butter, or you may add one teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of dried parsley to melted unsalted butter and brush on these golden rolls as soon as they are out of the oven.
  11. If you are planning to serve them later, just reheat it for 30 seconds and serve.

Notes

You may use other cheese such as Mild Cheddar, Cheese Cubes, Swiss, Provolone, etc.

You do not have to use cream cheese, but my family loves it so much so that's why I add to my rolls.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Bread Recipes

Frequently, I would say that my household runs on peanut-butter. We eat it for breakfast or a snack and many times for lunch as well.

To be completely honest, sometimes we even make breakfast for dinner and serve it with a cold glass of milk or a relaxing cup of tea.

So here is one fun fact about me. Graciously allow me to explain. While my kids grew up eating peanut butter ever since they were able to eat it, I did not taste Peanut Butter before the age of 18. I know! It is probably shocking to so many people.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Bread Recipe

I genuinely enjoyed everything that included peanuts, but it was not popular treat where I was raised. I do not think we even had it in our markets.

Maybe in some specialty stores, but I never had seen it before I came to the USA. Here is where my love for Peanut Butter blossomed.

That being said, nowadays I eagerly devour it with a spoon when I desperately need a quick snack. A spoon of PB with a piece of delicious chocolate is my daily after a workout.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Bread

I am pretty certain I have caught up to 18 years of not eating it because peanut butter made from roasted peanuts are probably one of my favorite flavors, especially in a decadent dessert.

I truly hope you guys make this recipe with your favorite Peanut butter brand. Now it is your turn to spread the peanut butter love!

A perfect recipe for Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Bread

This gluten-free peanut butter chocolate bread topped with oats is simply divine. You can toast slices of bread in a pan, make French toast or perhaps a delightful breakfast strata with day old bread.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Bake Time 50 minutes
Cooling Time 10 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup Swerve Granulating Sugar
  • 1 cup Smooth Peanut Butter
  • 1 3/4 Gluten Free Flour
  • 1 tbsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 1/4 cup GF Rolled Oats, reserve 1/4 cup for the top
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chunks or Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Warm up about 2 cups of water and place peanut butter jar in the large cup of a saucepan. This method will soften the peanut butter. It will be easier to incorporate to the smooth constancy with the rest of the ingredients. You may also add peanut butter in the microwave-safe dish and use the melt method until peanut butter is completely soft.
  3. In a large bowl combine warm milk, sour cream, eggs, and soften peanut butter. Using an electric hand mixer, mix all the ingredients until smooth.
  4. Measure all the dry ingredients and combine them together.
  5. Once combined slowly add to the wet and with a spatula to prevent over mixing, combine wet and dry ingredients.
  6. Pour into the loaf pan, lined with parchment paper if possible or use nonstick pan well-greased.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes in the middle rack of the oven.
  8. Make sure to check the bread after 20 minutes of baking. If the top of the bread is browning too fast, cover it with aluminum foil and then continue baking until the bread is cooked.
  9. You may remove the loaf from the baking pan after 10 minutes but allow the bread to cool down completely before slicing.

Notes

You may use:

  • Any brand of Peanut Butter that you prefer.
  • Chocolate or omit if you do not like it.
  • Regular Flour instead of Gluten Free
  • Regular Sugar instead of Swerve

Spiral Twist Bread Rolls with all purpose dough recipe

All Purpose Dough Recipe included with Spiral Twist Bread Rolls

I just love baking homemade bread. So many amazing bread recipes that we can make with different shapes just like these tasty spiral twist bread rolls.

I find it relaxing when I am under stress. However, if I am happy, I would dance while kneading my dough with blasting music from my Bluetooth speaker.

It is most certainly win-win situation whether if you are happy or sad.

I do not know about you, but I actually love kneading the dough with my hands. I just love the feeling of kneading it and playing at the same time.

Well, I got to tell you, it can be quite soothing. Try it sometimes if you are up for a challenge.

Down in the recipe card, I included my go-to dough recipe. It is all-purpose, meaning you can make bread, rolls, cinnamon rolls as well as pizza with this dough.

It cannot be any more multi-purpose than that, right?! Also, sometimes I add milk and sometimes I do not. It just depends. I feel like the addition of milk and the egg gives extra richness to the dough.

Spiral Twist Bread Rolls

My kids just loved making sandwiches with these beauties. That being said, I love spreading on a warm roll a bit of butter and jam. They are absolutely perfect to take to school or work.

I would definitely double the amount of the ingredients because they are really tasty. I would love to make it often but I do not. It is simply because I would eat them all. I really love freshly baked bread.

Allow them to rise for 45 to 60 minutes before baking.

Spiral Twist Bread Rolls

Spiral Twist Bread Rolls

Spiral Twist Bread Rolls with all-purpose dough recipe.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Additional Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup lukewarm Water
  • 1 cup lukewarm Whole Milk
  • 1 package Dry Yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 large Egg, beaten, PLUS 1 egg for brushing
  • 4 cups All-Purpose Flour, plus for dusting
  • 3/4 tablespoon Salt

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, stir together the water, milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Let stand for approximately 10 minutes, or until the yeast starts to bubble. Add in the egg and stir to combine well.
  2. Add in the salt and mix with the flour. Keep adding flour a bit at the time, still stirring until absorbed. Then, with the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the remaining flour until combined. Increase speed to medium and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic about 5 minutes.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball and place inside a greased mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in size, about one hour and a half to two hours. Keep it the warmer area such as microwave or turned off oven.
  4. Punch the dough down. Now the dough is ready to be shaped and used as you wish. You can make bread, differently shaped rolls, pizza or dinner rolls with this all-purpose dough. This amount of dough makes 5 rolls at 90 grams each or 8 smaller ones at 56 grams, 1 pizza, 1 bread loaf. It usually weights just a bit over 1 pound of dough. Double the amount if you wish to make more rolls.

Spiral Twist Bread Rolls

Spiral Twist Bread Rolls

  1. Measure the amount of dough then calculate how many you wish to make. I had 2 pounds of dough, which is double the amount of ingredients up there. I made 10 rolls for sandwiches.
  2. Cut each roll into two equal parts, then roll both into the long ropes, about 8 inches long.
  3. Connect the top and pinch, then twist and pinch the bottom of the twist. Now, make the spiral by twirling it from the right to the left and twirl inside. At the very end, pinch from the underneath to hide it. You are left with a beautiful looking twist roll. Looks almost like a flower.
  4. Allow them to rise for at least 45 minutes. It would be best if you allow them to rise for 60 minutes just to almost double in size.
  5. Mix one egg with a pinch of salt (salt will help egg wash to be less stringy when you applying). Brush on each roll egg wash.
  6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200C).
  7. Bake the rolls for 30 to 35 minutes, depending on your oven, or until the rolls are golden brown and lighter when you pick them up.
  8. Allow them to cool down for at least 15 minutes before eating. Make sure to cover them with the cotton towel to allow them to get soft and even tastier.

Notes

This amount of dough makes 5 rolls at 90 grams each, or 8 smaller ones at 56 grams. It makes 1 pizza or 1 bread loaf.

It usually weights just a bit over 1 pound of dough. Double the amount if you wish to make more rolls.

You can do all the kneading with your hands just like I did. It takes a bit of arm and hand workout but it is doable. Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is elastic and not as sticky.
