Cheesy Garlic Bread Swirls

    

Dough:

• 1 tablespoon acrive dry or bread machine yeast
• 1 1/2 cups of warm water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 3 tablespoons vegtable oil
• 1 egg yolk
• 4 cups of flour

1. Combine the yeast, water, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and allow to stand 10 minutes or until bubbly.
2. Add salt, vegtable oil, and egg yolk; combine.  Add 3 cups of flour and mix well until combined.  Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough that barely sticks to your finger.  Knead, either by hand or in mixer for another 2-3. Cover and allow to rise 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Seasoning:

• 1/2 cup powdered Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons of kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons of oregano
• 2 teaspoons of basil
• 2 teaspoons of marjoram
• 2 teaspoons of parsley

1. Combine all ingredients.

• 1/2 cup real butter (no substitutes)
• 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese

1. When the dough has risen, roll the dough into an 18 x 6-inch rectangle.  On a work surface, lightly spray non-stick cooking spray or sprinkle with flour.  Smear butter over the entire surface of the dough.  Then sprinkle with seasoning and shredded cheese.
2. Roll up the dough jelly-roll style and then use dental floss to cut it into 12 equal slices.  Place each slice in a muffin tin cup that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.  Cover with a clean cloth.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and allow rolls to rise while the oven is heating.
3. When the oven is ready, bake for 18-22 minutes.  Be sure to watch the rolls for the last ten minutes;  Once you notice the cheese getting brown, place a sheet of aluminum foil over the rolls (you don't need to press, just lay it down).  This will keep the cheese from burning. It might get a little brown on top, but the insides will still be perfectly melted.
