They’re easy to make in a stand mixer and fun for little hands to help shape and fill.
Perfect for moms looking to elevate everyday meals with something homemade, simple, and family-friendly.
Stuffed Honey Cheese Rolls (Stand Mixer Version)
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 12 cubes of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or your favorite melting cheese—about ¾ to 1 inch each)
- Melted butter or honey butter, for brushing (optional)
Instructions
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, mix warm water and honey until dissolved. Sprinkle in the yeast and let sit for 5–10 minutes, until foamy.
- Add flour, salt, and butter. Mix with the dough hook on low speed until a dough forms.
- Increase to medium speed and knead for 5–6 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1½ hours, until doubled.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle and place a cube of cheese in the center. Wrap the dough around the cheese, pinch to seal well, and gently roll into a ball.
- Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish or on a lined baking sheet. Cover loosely and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake rolls for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- Optional: Brush with melted butter or honey butter while warm.
Tips for Busy Moms
