Tessa's Recipe Rundown
Taste: Garlic cheesy incredible goodness. Like a cross between garlic bread and cheesy breadsticks.
Texture: The bread itself gets crusty and chewy on the outside and is fluffy inside with that exceptionally amazing cheesy filling. You can’t beat that golden cheese on top.
Ease: If you already have your pizza dough made, these are super easy. The most time consuming hands-on part is stuffing and shaping the rolls.
Appearance: I mean. C’mon. Who could ever say no?!
Pros: Amazingness in every bite.
Cons: Sorry about your diet.
Would I make this again? Um, yes. No need for this question is there?!

I may be typing to you from beyond the grave because these rolls just about killed me. They’re SO good. We ate them two nights ago and I’m still thinking about them. The thoughts go something like this, “Oh man those rolls were so freakin’ good. I think I may be a carb genius. But wait. They’re all gone. Why are they all gone? Oh no how many did we eat? But I still want more. Is it too soon to make them again?”
Yeah, these Cheese Stuffed Garlic Rolls are killer. Just one look and I think you can see that. It was so hard to photograph these without wanting to pop them all in my mouth. I wish you could also enjoy just how incredible they smell. They’re garlickly, cheesy, crusty, chewy, sinful goodness in a pretty golden ball. The cheesy is so melty and gooey and just kind of oozes into your mouth for an incredible bite. They’re not fancy, but they’re the ultimate comfort food.
These rolls use pizza dough, I *love* to use my favorite No-Knead Pizza Dough recipe. It’s super easy and makes for a wonderfully chewy, crisp, and light result. You can use store-bought to save time.

Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 36 mozzarella cubes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- Divide the dough into 18 equal pieces. Flatten a piece of dough and place 2 chunks of cheese inside, sealing the dough around the cheese tightly. Place on the baking sheet seam side down and continue with the remaining dough. Cover and let rise until puffy, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Combine the butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic in a small bowl and microwave until the butter is melted. Brush all over with the butter mixture. Sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve very warm.
looks good
Oh yes please! The more garlicy (is that even a word?) the better!
Can I make this ahead of time? At what point do I put them in the fridge – after I have shaped them into a ball or after they’ve risen? They look so good! Thanks!
Pop them into the fridge after you’ve shaped them into balls then when you’re ready to bake take them out and let them come to room temperature and puff up slightly before baking as directed.
These garlic rolls I’m going to make up wed night with some sAuage balls as part of appetites they sound good
These were absolutely amazing. I made up a batch of dough and made 6 the first night and used the rest up the following night. The only thing I did differently was to use wholemeal flour and with the second batch brushed the butter/herb/garlic mix on the inside before putting the cheese on. Made them a much more garlicy version which my husband and I both loved. He was rather disappointed I didn’t make them a third night!
These look amazing! I cannot wait to try them!
I love this recipe! Looks like a fantastic addition to any meal plan that everyone will totally love!
These are dinner roll perfect!! Love love love!
Never seen anything this gorgeous and cheesy before ever!! Pinning !!
Just noticed there are two cubes on the flattened dough in the photo..
These sound like a “must try” to me. Yum!
That looks good but you say 36 cubes of cheese but 18 pieces of dough? I’m not quite clear on how many of what to use. Why 36 cubes of cheese? Is it 2 cubes per piece of dough?
Thanks!
The fact that these rolls are stuffed is a winner for me.
