To change up plain old dinner rolls, I added mozzarella. Now my family wants them at every gathering. I don't mind, even in a time crunch. —Rosalie Fittery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
24 cubes part-skim mozzarella cheese (3/4 inch each, about 10 ounces)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions

1. Divide dough into 24 portions. Shape each portion around a cheese cube to cover completely; pinch to seal. Place each roll in a greased muffin cup, seam side down. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. In a small bowl, mix butter, parsley, garlic, Italian seasoning and pepper flakes. Brush over rolls; sprinkle with cheese. Bake until golden brown, 15-18 minutes.
3. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans. Serve warm.
