### Instructions:
#### 1. **Prepare the Dough:**
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the yeast is activated and frothy.
Add the milk, melted butter, olive oil, and salt to the mixture, then stir in the flour, a little at a time, until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. You may need to add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky, but be careful not to add too much, as this can make the rolls dense.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
#### 2. **Shape the Rolls:**
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 12×8 inches in size.
Evenly spread the shredded mozzarella cheese (and cheddar if using) over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano. You can also add a little extra salt and pepper for seasoning.
Starting from the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into about 8-10 rolls (depending on how large you want them). Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, arranging them snugly together.
#### 3. **Let the Rolls Rise:**
Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, until they puff up and fill the pan.
#### 4. **Bake the Rolls:**
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, place them in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
#### 5. **Make the Garlic Butter Glaze:**
While the rolls are baking, prepare the garlic butter glaze by melting butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese.
Once the rolls are done baking, immediately brush them with the garlic butter glaze, making sure to coat them well. This will give the rolls that perfect garlic-infused flavor and a beautiful shine!
#### 6. **Serve and Enjoy:**
Garnish the rolls with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and a fresh herbal note. Serve these cheesy garlic bread rolls while they’re warm, and watch them disappear in minutes!
### Tips for the Perfect Cheesy Garlic Bread Rolls:
– **Use Fresh Cheese**: For the best melting cheese, opt for freshly shredded mozzarella rather than pre-shredded cheese, which contains anti-caking agents.
– **Make-Ahead Option**: You can prepare the dough and assemble the rolls the night before. Simply cover them and refrigerate them overnight. In the morning, let them rise and bake as usual.
– **Extra Garlic?** If you love garlic, feel free to add more minced garlic into the filling or glaze. You can also experiment with different cheeses for variety—go wild with parmesan, provolone, or even goat cheese!
– **Freezer-Friendly**: You can freeze the rolls after baking and glazing. When you’re ready to serve, just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to bring them back to life.
