Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups (1200 ml) flour
- 4 tsp (20 ml) yeast
- 2 cups (480 ml) warm water
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) salt
- 2 tsps (10 ml) garlic powder
- 4 oz (113 g) mozzarella cheese
- 4 oz (113 g) parmesan cheese
- ½ cup (113 g) salted butter, softened
- 7–8 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) butter, melted
- Garlic salt, for sprinkling
- Sea salt flakes, optional
Instructions
- Yeast Activation: Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a stand mixer bowl, allowing the mixture to become frothy and bubbly for 5 minutes.
- Dough Preparation: Integrate flour, salt, and garlic powder into the activated yeast mixture using the dough hook attachment. Knead until a smooth, cohesive dough forms, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- First Rise: Lightly grease the mixing bowl, return the dough, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm environment until doubled in volume, around 30-40 minutes.
- Dough Rolling and Filling: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangular shape. Spread softened butter evenly, then sprinkle minced garlic, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and a light dusting of garlic salt across the surface.
- Shaping and Cutting: Tightly roll the dough from one long edge, creating a compact cylindrical shape. Slice into 1½-inch sections using dental floss or a sharp knife, yielding 12-15 individual rollups.
- Baking Preparation: Arrange rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing 2-3 inches apart. Optional: Garnish with sea salt flakes.
- Baking and Finishing: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 22-27 minutes until light golden-brown. Immediately brush hot rollups with melted butter to enhance softness and richness.
Notes
- Yeast Activation Tip: Ensure water temperature is between 100-110°F to prevent killing the yeast, which can result in dense, flat rollups.
- Dough Kneading Technique: Knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, stopping just before it becomes tough and overworked.
- Butter Distribution Strategy: Spread softened butter evenly to guarantee consistent flavor and prevent dry spots in the rollups.
- Baking Precision: Watch closely during the last 5 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning and maintain a soft, pillowy texture.
