Cheesy Hawaiian Garlic Rolls (Printer-Friendly Version)
Soft Hawaiian rolls baked with garlic butter, mozzarella string cheese inside, and a cheesy mozzarella-parmesan topping.
# Ingredients Needed:
→ Bread
01 -
12 King's Hawaiian savory butter rolls, fresh
→ Cheese
02 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
03 -
3 mozzarella string cheese sticks
04 -
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
→ Butter Mixture
05 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
06 -
2 teaspoons minced garlic
07 -
1 teaspoon dried parsley
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Set the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and position the rack in the center for even heat distribution.
02 -
Arrange the 12 rolls in a greased baking dish, placing them close enough to touch. Make two slits on top of each roll carefully without cutting through the bottom to create pockets.
03 -
Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick into 4 equal pieces. Insert one piece into each slit on the rolls for a gooey interior.
04 -
Mix the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and shredded Parmesan cheese thoroughly in a bowl.
05 -
Brush the butter garlic mixture generously over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly on top to form a cheesy crust.
06 -
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For deeper garlic flavor, toast the butter and garlic lightly before mixing in Parmesan.
02 -
Avoid slicing through the bottom of the rolls to keep the cheese from leaking during baking.
03 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in oven or toaster oven to maintain crust crispness.
