Cheesy Hawaiian Garlic Bread
Make easy Cheesy Hawaiian Garlic Bread! Sweet Hawaiian rolls stuffed with mozzarella, brushed with garlic-herb butter, and baked until golden
Ingredients
Since the recipe lacks specific quantities for most items, here’s a plausible list based on a standard 12-count package of Hawaiian rolls.
- 1 package (12 count) Hawaiian rolls
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113g) butter, melted
- 1 – 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 – 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- (Optional: ¼ teaspoon salt, especially if using unsalted butter)
- 1 – 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (more cheese = more gooey!)
- Non-stick cooking spray
These are suggestions; feel free to adjust seasonings and cheese to your taste!
Instructions
Let’s walk through making these cheesy delights, including plausible baking instructions:
1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). (This is a common temperature for baking/reheating bread and melting cheese. Alternatively, for a quicker, crispier top, you might use the broiler, but watch EXTREMELY carefully).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Hawaiian Rolls for Stuffing:
- Carefully take each Hawaiian roll. Using a serrated knife, make two parallel cuts or slices into the top or side of each roll, cutting about 3/4 of the way through but not all the way. The goal is to create pockets or “slices” that can be opened slightly for stuffing. Be gentle to keep the rolls mostly intact.
- Carefully stuff shredded mozzarella cheese into each cut/slice you’ve made in the rolls. The recipe says, “The more cheese, the better!” so be generous but ensure the rolls can still hold their shape.
3. Arrange Rolls on Baking Sheet:
- Place the stuffed Hawaiian rolls close together (or slightly separated, depending on preference) on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Prepare Seasoned Butter:
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
- Stir in the garlic powder and Italian seasoning (and optional salt if using unsalted butter) until well combined.
5. Slather Rolls with Butter:
- Using a pastry brush or a spoon, generously slather the seasoned garlic butter mixture over the top of each stuffed Hawaiian roll, ensuring they are well-coated.
6. Bake (or Broil with Caution):
- For Baking: Place the baking sheet in the preheated 375°F (190°C) oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the rolls are heated through, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tops are lightly golden brown.
- For Broiling (Faster, Riskier): Place the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element. Turn broiler to LOW if possible, or keep on HIGH but watch constantly. Broil for 1-3 minutes, just until cheese is melted and bubbly and tops are golden. Hawaiian rolls can burn VERY quickly under a broiler due to their sugar content!
7. Serve Warm:
- Carefully remove the Cheesy Hawaiian Garlic Bread from the oven.
- Serve immediately while warm and the cheese is gooey. Enjoy!
Always watch carefully during the final heating/melting stage!
