These Garlic Spiral Bread Rolls are made like Cinnamon Rolls. But instead of spreading on sugar, you roll in fresh garlic, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. This makes a great savory twist on a dinner roll and is a good side dish to any dinner entree.

Step 1: Ingredients

Ingredients: (makes 12 rolls)

¾ cup milk

¼ cup butter

3 teaspoons active dry yeast

3 cups flour

¼ cup sugar

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon garlic salt

1 egg

¼ cup water

Filling:

½ cup grated parmesan cheese

½ cup butter, softened

1 tablespoon minced parsley

3 cloves garlic, minced

Step 2: Mix It

Heat butter with milk in a microwave until butter is melted, stirring in between.

In a large bowl of a stand mixer, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, garlic salt, and salt. Pour water, egg, and milk-butter mixture into the flour mixture. Make sure that the milk mixture is very warm. Stir into flour mix until sticky and wet. Replace mixer with a dough hook. Add the remaining cup of flour ¼ cup at a time carefully, kneading with dough hook constantly until the dough is wet but doesn’t stick to your hand. It should take all the flour.

Step 3: Rise

Once dough is done, take the dough out of the bowl and hand knead it. Then grease the large bowl, and put the dough back in. Let rise in a warm place for 10 minutes.

Step 4: Roll It

Roll dough out on a large flour surface into a 12x9 inch rectangle. Mix the parsley, parmesan, and garlic in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed. Spread softened butter over rolled out dough evenly. Then sprinkle cheese-garlic mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 5: Seal and Rest

Roll dough up, starting at the 12 inch side, until it is a long log. This is very similar to cinnamon rolls. Cut out 12 even rolls from this long log. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Place rolls face side up in the pan. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
