Cheese-stuffed rolls are the ultimate comfort food – warm, soft, and packed with melted cheese that oozes out with every bite. These rolls are a perfect snack, side dish, or appetizer that will leave everyone craving more. With a fluffy, golden-brown exterior and a cheesy, gooey filling, they’re sure to become a favorite at any meal.
The beauty of cheese-stuffed rolls lies in their simplicity. You start with a soft, buttery dough, which forms the perfect base for the cheese filling. The dough is easy to prepare, with flour, yeast, butter, and a bit of sugar coming together to create a light, tender texture. After the dough has risen and is ready to shape, it’s filled with a generous amount of cheese. Mozzarella works beautifully for its meltiness, but you can also add cheddar, parmesan, or any cheese of your choice for extra flavor.
To assemble, roll out the dough and cut it into squares or circles, placing a cube or scoop of cheese in the center of each piece. Then, fold the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges to seal them tightly. This ensures that the cheese stays tucked inside while baking. Once they’re all assembled, arrange the rolls on a baking sheet and brush them with a bit of butter before baking them to golden perfection.
When they come out of the oven, these cheese-stuffed rolls are warm and irresistible, with a golden, crispy outside and a melted, gooey cheese filling. The combination of the soft dough and the rich, melty cheese is pure comfort food at its best.
These rolls are incredibly versatile. You can add herbs like garlic, oregano, or basil to the dough for extra flavor, or even mix herbs into the cheese filling for a more seasoned taste. They’re also a great base for customization – add a slice of pepperoni or a bit of ham for a heartier treat.
Cheese-stuffed rolls are perfect for parties, family dinners, or as an accompaniment to soups and salads. They’re quick to make and always a crowd-pleaser, offering the perfect balance of flavors and textures in every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Easy enough to follow if ur a beginner. My kids loved them and I felt like a pro! Will make again!
I tried this and my kids loved it too! So easy, thanks for sharing!
Kneading for 10 minutes? That seems like too long, doesn’t it? I usually go for 5, haha!
Too complicated for my taste. I just wanted to buy some at the store. 😒
I don’t know, I followed the recipe but they came out kind of flat. Maybe my yeast was old? 🤔
These rolls are amazing! Super cheesy and just the right amount of fluffy. My kids devoured them!
Yummy! The dough was kinda sticky tho. Might add more flour next time.
I found this recipe a bit confusing. Do you really need to let the dough rise for an hour? I skipped that part.
These rolls are a hit! My kids loved them, and I can’t stop eating them! Def gonna make again.
Glad to hear they were a hit! Kids love cheesy goodness! 😊
Took forever to rise! I don’t know if I did something wrong. They tasted ok, but not worth the hassle.
Yum! So cheesy! But next time I might add some herbs for flavor. Thanks for sharing!
Honestly, I didn’t believe they would taste that good. But wow, they are so soft and cheesy! What a surprise! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was skeptical at first too, but they turned out amazing! Perfect for a cozy night in. 🧀
I found the dough really hard to work with. It kept sticking to my hands. Maybe I did something wrong?
It can definitely be tricky! Make sure you’re flouring your hands and the surface well. Sometimes the humidity can affect the dough too. Don’t lose hope!
Not sure if I did it right, but mine were super doughy. Maybe I kneaded too little? Not impressed.
I think you might have under-kneaded it for sure! Doughy texture can come from that. Try kneading longer next time, like at least 10-12 minutes if you can. Hope it works out better!
They turned out okay, but honestly, I think I prefer store-bought ones. Not worth the hassle for me.
Cheese rolls? Sounds like a weird combo, but they actually worked! kinda messy tho. 😁
Cheese in bread? That sounds amazing! I gotta try this recipe! 😍
These rolls are simply the best! Taste amazing! 😍
I totally agree! These rolls have become a family favorite. Can’t get enough of that cheesy goodness! 🧀❤️
Cheese rolls? Yes please! Gonna make these for the game night! 🙌
Game night, huh? You really sure these will be good? What if the cheese leaks out? 😬
Sounds perfect for game night! Can’t wait to dig in! 🧀
These rolls are amazing! The cheese inside was gooey and delicious. Definitely a 5-star recipe!
I can’t believe how easy this was! I thought the gooey cheese would be a mess but they came out perfect. 5 stars from me!
I followed the recipe and they turned out perfect. I used mozzarella cheese and it was gooey!
These rolls are woah! My grandma used to make something similar, but she always added garlic. Nice memories.
Garlic sounds delicious! I might have to try adding that next time. Thanks for the memory!
Wait, cheese in rolls? That’s kinda weird. Is that even a thing? I thought rolls just had butter or somethin’
I didn’t have any cheese so I used chocolate instead 😂🤷♂️. Results were…. interesting.
Made them twice already! The kids love them, and they’re easy to make. Just watch them in the oven.
Easy to make, but I burnt mine! Watch out for that oven timing. 😅
I tried to make these warming enough water and it burned the yeast! Aren’t they supposed to fizz or something? I give up.
I thought these rolls would be cheesy like pizza, but it was just little bits of cheese. Disappointing!
They came out too doughy. Maybe I measured wrong? 🤔
Don’t worry, that happens! Maybe try measuring flour more carefully next time? 🤓
Great recipe! My kids loved them! I used different cheese though, still turned out perfect!
These rolls are incredible! My family devoured them in minutes. Will definitely make again!
I didn’t have cheese at home so I used peanut butter instead. Still turned out good but how would that even work? 🤔
Why would anyone put cheese in dough? Seems weird to me. Not trying this.
The instructions were too long for me. I like quick recipes.
I love cheese, but these didn’t turn out right for me. Dough was sticky and I ended up with a mess. 😟
Super tasty! I used mozzarella and added some chili flakes. Will definitely make again!
They didn’t rise much for me. Maybe my yeast was old? Idk, but they were kinda flat.
Super simple and delish! Definitely making these for my next gathering.
These look amazing! Can’t wait to try them out. Perfect for sharing!
These rolls taste amazing! I added garlic to the dough because I love the flavor. Bust mostly followed the recipe.
Easy peasy! I followed the steps and they came out perfect. Toasted some leftovers with butter, yum!
These rolls were a huge hit at my party! So cheesy and delicious. I added some herbs for extra flavor. 5 stars!
Why do you need yeast? Can’t you just use baking powder? 🤔
I think I might have messed up the dough. It was too sticky. Anyone else face this?
I had the same problem once! Maybe try adding a little more flour next time? It helped me!
