Homemade Cheddar Cheese Rolls

There’s nothing quite like the smell of homemade bread baking in the oven—especially when it’s stuffed with melty cheese and finished with garlicky butter. These Cheesy Garlic Rolls are the kind of recipe that instantly turns a simple meal into something special.

I first made them for a family dinner, and before they even made it to the table, half of them had already disappeared. The combination of soft, fluffy bread, gooey sharp cheddar in the center, and a buttery garlic topping is truly irresistible. Whether it’s a holiday feast or a cozy weekend meal, these rolls are always a hit. The best part? They’re surprisingly easy to make from scratch.
