  • 13 Servings
  • Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 15 min.

Ingredients

  • 2 to 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water (120° to 130°)
  • 2 tablespoons plus 4 teaspoons butter, melted, divided
  • 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add water and 2 tablespoons butter; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes or until smooth. Stir in cheese and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide into 13 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 9-in. round baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake at 375° for 11-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine the honey, garlic salt and remaining butter; brush over rolls. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 13 rolls.

These were so quick. I did not have quick yeast on hand, but they still rose in about 30 minutes. These taste amazing and are one of the easiest recipes I've ever made. I'm going to throw out my old roll recipes and always do this. I used my KitchenAid mixer to do the kneading, so it was almost effortless. Thanks for sharing!!

If make these without the cheese and garlic, and they are SOOO good. I love yeast rolls, but usually have to start making them by 2pm to have them for dinner. The quick-rise yeast enables me to have them on the table, start to finish in under 1 1/2 hrs. I really don't bother to look at other roll recipes now--why bother, this one never disappoints!

I have made these so many times I have lost count. I make the dough in my bread machine and they are beyond excellent. I do double the honey butter recipe for use on the top.

This is one of my taste of home original recipes that I have marked in the first edition of the magazine. I go to this recipe everytime someone asks me to bring a simple dessert. My daughters who are now grown also asks for this when they come to visit. It is simple and reliable. When in a time crunch, I just use a lite cherry pie filling instead.

I made these appetizers for St. Pat's Day. They were wonderful HOWEVER it certainly doesn't come close to making 8 dozen. It would be impossible to get that many using only 5 tortillas. Must be a typo??
