Teesha’s Cheesy Beehive Rolls

A family favorite of ours is to stuff Janey Lou’s Beehive Rolls (#8925) with cheese. I use half a Frigo String Cheese (#4972) and dip in Kirkland Butter (#1723) and Garlic Supreme (#2592). Yummy.

When the roll is about half raised or a bit less I put my finger through it so I can slide the cheese in, then I pinch it so the cheese doesn’t melt out when baked. Then I dip the top of the roll in butter and I use the Garlic Supreme Seasoning we have (love it love garlic lol) to sprinkle over the top. Then put on the pan and let rise the rest of the way and bake as directed. I use 1/2 cheese stick per roll but you could do 1/3? It just depends on how much cheese you like.

You can also give the Beehive Rolls a sweet glaze. For a more traditional sweet roll look, cut the Beehive Rolls in half, and bake them in a greased muffin tin with the cut side down, and then ice with an orange or raspberry glaze for sweet dinner rolls. When we’re in a hurry, we proof and bake as usual and just glaze the whole pan of rolls (as shown above).
