Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, Fleischmann’s RapidRise yeast, sugar, salt, and garlic powder. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add wet ingredients to flour mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Add remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and ¾ cup mozzarella and mix until dough begins to become cohesive. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead, adding more flour if dough feels sticky, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Transfer dough to a clean bowl and let rest 10 minutes. Grease a 9”-x-13” pan with cooking spray and preheat oven to 375°. Divide dough into 15 equal pieces and roll each into a ball, then place in prepared pan. Drape pan with dish towel and let dough rise until doubled in size, 1 hour. Toward the end of the rise, in a small bowl, stir together remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes and season with salt. Brush garlic butter onto rolls and sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining ½ cup mozzarella. Bake until rolls are puffy and golden, 25 minutes.
