Step 4: Prepare the Cheddar Filling

In a small bowl, mix together:

• Softened butter
• Shredded cheddar
• Garlic powder
• Parsley or oregano

💡 Sharp cheddar gives the rolls a stronger flavor, while mild cheddar melts more smoothly.

Step 5: Roll and Fill the Dough

1. Punch down the dough to release air.
2. Roll it out into a rectangle about 12×10 inches.
3. Spread the butter-cheddar mixture evenly across the dough.
4. Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
5. Slice into 10–12 equal rolls.

Step 6: Second Rise

• Place the rolls in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined tray.
• Cover and allow to rise for 20–30 minutes until puffy.

Step 7: Bake to Perfection

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Brush the tops with melted butter.
3. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is bubbling.

Step 8: Serve Warm

Once baked, brush again with melted butter for a glossy finish.
Serve them warm while the cheese is still gooey and fragrant.
