Our Best Bites Cheesy Garlic Bread Swirls (served by Sonja)

1 TBS active dry or bread machine yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/2 TBS Sugar
1 tsp salt
3 TBS vegetable oil
1 egg, separated
4-5 1/2 cups flour, divided

1/2 cup real butter, no substitutes
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic bread seasoning
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Combine yeast, water, and sugar in large mixing bowl and allow to stand 10 minutes or until bubbly.
Add salt, vegetable oil, and egg yolk (set the white aside for later) and combine.  Add 3 cups flour and mix well until combined.  Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough that barely sticks to your finger.  Knead, either by hand or in mixer for another 2-3 minutes.  Cover and let rise 1 hour and 45 minutes.

While the dough is rising, combine butter and garlic bread seasoning and set aside.

When the dough has risen, roll the dough into an 18X6 rectangle on a work surface lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray or sprinkled with flour. Smear garlic butter over the entire surface of the dough then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

Roll up the dough jelly-roll style and use dental floss to cut into 12 equal slices.  Place each in a muffin tin cup that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cover with a clean cloth. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and allow rolls to rise while the oven is heating.

When the oven is ready, bake for 18-22 minutes.  Be sure to keep a close eye on these during the last 10 minutes or so - once you notice the cheese getting brown, place a sheet of aluminum foil over the rolls (you don't need to press down; just lay it on top).
