Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon instant yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

    Add the melted butter and salt to the yeast mixture, then start adding the flour gradually while stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.

      Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

        Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

          Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the dough is rising.

            Once risen, punch down the dough and knead in the shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, and parsley until evenly distributed.

              Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a round roll. Place the rolls close together on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

                In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with garlic powder, and brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls.

                  Cover the baking sheet with a cloth and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.

                    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

                      Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
