Ingredients required to make cheesy mini garlic bread rolls
Whole wheat flour– to make the rolls health friendly whole wheat flour is used. You can also try with millets or mutigrain flour. But first start with plain flour and then goes with mixed flour.
Yeast– instant dry yeast is used. It does require any proofing before adding to the dry flour mixture. But I always prefer to activate yeast and then add to the mixture.
Butter– add soft melted butter to the dough while kneading. It improves flavour and add softness.
Cheese– used grated cheddar and mozerella cheese for adding into the rolls.
Sweet corn– it is optional if you want can add it or otherwise skip it. You can even add veggies of your choice to make them more nutritious.
