These Cheesy Garlic Herb Rolls are a delightful twist on traditional damper rolls, featuring a blend of aromatic herbs and a cheesy, garlicky flavor.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Preheating ensures even baking and a nice crust on the rolls.
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and butter. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Cold butter works best for achieving a crumbly texture.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped chives.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the water and milk. Mix gently until a soft dough forms.
Avoid overmixing to keep the rolls light and fluffy.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each into a round.
Light kneading helps develop the dough's structure without making it tough.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking tray. Cut a cross on the top of each roll, brush with a little milk, and sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese.
The cross allows the rolls to expand evenly during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Keep an eye on the rolls to prevent overbaking.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or as a side to your favorite dish.
Serving warm enhances the flavor and texture of the rolls.
