🧀 Easy Cheddar Cheese Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
-
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
-
¾ cup milk (whole or 2%)
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
-
Add cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
-
Combine wet ingredients: Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined — do not overmix. The dough will be sticky.
-
Shape the rolls: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop 10–12 mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
-
Serve warm: Enjoy plain, or brush the tops with a little extra melted butter and sprinkle with herbs for a flavor boost.
🔁 Variations:
-
Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
-
Herby: Stir in 1 tsp dried herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives.
-
More cheesy: Use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for stretchier rolls.
