Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly; add to dry ingredients along with the egg.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
- Place kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle about half an inch thick.
- Spread minced garlic evenly across the dough, followed by shredded cheese.
- Fold the rectangle into thirds like folding a letter; slice into strips about two inches wide.
- Twist each strip into spirals and place them in greased muffin tins.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
