Ingredients

1 cup warm water (110F)
1 package (1/4 oz) or 2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons honey
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 large egg white, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 medium cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Place warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook OR a large bowl. Dissolve yeast in water and let stand 5 minutes until foamy.
Mix honey, egg, and oil into yeast mixture until smooth. Add salt, garlic powder, and 4 cups all purpose flour to bowl and mix on low speed OR with a wooden spoon if making dough by hand until dough pulls away from sides of bowl, about 2 minutes of mixing. (if dough seems a bit wet, add additional flour by the tablespoon until dough pulls away from sides of bowl)
If making dough in stand mixer, knead dough in mixer on low speed 5-7 minutes until dough is stretchy and elastic. If making dough by hand, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until dough is stretchy and elastic, about 10 minutes of kneading.
Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place at room temperature 1 to 1-1/2 hours until dough is doubled in size.
Once dough has doubled in size, preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet. Set aside.
Punch risen dough down and divide into 12 even portions. Roll each dough portion out into a smooth ball and arrange in greased skillet.
Stuff shredded cheddar between dinner rolls and sprinkle any remaining on top. Brush dinner rolls with egg white/water wash. Allow dinner rolls to rise in a warm place 30-45 minutes until doubled in size.
Bake dinner rolls at 350F 25-30 minutes until rolls are a deep golden brown and register 190F on a kitchen thermometer.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add garlic and saute 1 minute until fragrant.
Brush garlic butter mixture over warm dinner rolls. Allow dinner rolls to cool several minutes before breaking apart and serving warm. Enjoy!
