Cheesy Garlic Rolls

(Shared recipe submitted by Ruth Burbage.)

Makes 24 rolls

Ingredients

• Up to 5-1/2 cups flour, divided
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 package active dry yeast (1/4 ounce)
• 1-1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), divided
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons dried chives
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
• 2/3 cup sharp cheddar, grated

Combine 3 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Combine milk and 1/2 cup water in saucepan; heat to 120° F. Gradually stir milk mixture into flour mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup melted butter. Beat at low speed with electric mixer about 30 seconds, then beat at high for 1 minute. Gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn dough onto floured surface. Knead until smooth, 6-8 minutes. Place dough in a large bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until double in bulk.

Punch down dough, cover and let rest 10 minutes. Combine remaining ingredients (1/4 cup butter, olive oil, chives and Italian seasoning) in a bowl. Divide dough into 24 pieces. Place a heaping teaspoon of grated cheddar in center of each dough piece and roll into a ball. Dip the balls in butter mixture and place in muffin tin. Drizzle remaining butter mixture over dough balls. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375° F. Bake rolls until golden brown, about 14 minutes. Serve warm.
