Ingredients
- 2 to 2-¼ cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 (2-1/4 tsp) packet Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Instant Yeast
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Directions
- 1
Combine 1 cup flour, sugar, Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Instant Yeast, salt and garlic powder in a large bowl; whisk until well combined.
- 2
Combine milk, water and butter in a small microwave-safe bowl.
- 3
Microwave on HIGH in 15 second increments. If you are using a thermometer, the temperature should be at 120° to 130°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, it should be very warm but not hot to the touch.
- 4
Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes to combine.
- 5
Add 1/4 cup flour and the cheese; stir for 2 minutes. Stir in just enough of the remaining flour (3/4 to 1 cup) so that the dough will form into a ball. Knead on lightly floured surface until the dough is elastic and springs back when lightly pressed with 2 fingers, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Cover with a towel; let rest for 10 minutes.
- 7
Cut dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls using your hands. Do this by bringing the edges of each dough piece underneath to create a taut bubble on top. Place in a greased 8-inch pan.

Cover with a towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Bake in a preheated 375ºF oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan by running a knife around the edges and invert onto a wire rack; brush with additional melted butter and sprinkle with flakey salt.
