Step 6: Shape the Rolls
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray, leaving a little space between each roll.
Step 7: Second Rise
Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise again for about 30–45 minutes.
They should puff up and become slightly larger and softer to the touch.
Step 8: Bake the Rolls
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If you want extra cheesiness, sprinkle a bit of cheddar on top of each roll before baking.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 9: Finishing Touch
Once out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter for a soft, glossy finish.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving—but they’re best enjoyed warm.
Tips for Perfect Cheddar Rolls
- Use sharp cheddar for a stronger, richer flavor.
- Don’t overfill with cheese or it may leak out during baking.
- Make sure your milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
- For extra flavor, you can add garlic powder or herbs like parsley or chives to the dough.
Serving Ideas
Cheddar cheese rolls pair wonderfully with:
- Soups and stews
- Grilled meats
- Breakfast eggs
- Or simply on their own with a bit of butter
These cheddar cheese rolls strike the perfect balance between fluffy bread and rich, savory cheese. Once you make them from scratch, it’s hard to go back to store-bought versions.
