The first time I made this Cheesy Hawaiian Garlic Bread, I said, “Why haven’t I thought of this before?!” These garlic rolls are soft, buttery, and cheesy with a hint of sweetness. The combination is unreal and unlike any cheesy garlic bread you’ve had before. They are beyond drool-worthy! You’re going to LOVE this recipe many times over. Luckily, they’re very easy to make!

The ingredients are simple, and inexpensive, and you probably have most of it on hand already. You can find the Hawaiian rolls at any grocery store. Pretty much everyone loves Hawaiian rolls. They’re addicting on their own. But when you dress them up with these ingredients, it takes the bread to a whole new level!
Ingredients:
- Hawaiian Rolls
- Butter
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions:
As seen in the TikTok video above, begin by slicing each roll 2 times and stuffing each slice with shredded mozzarella cheese. The more cheese, the better!

Next, you want to melt the butter and stir in the seasonings. Garlic powder and Italian seasoning is all it takes! Once mixed, you’re going to slather it on top of each roll. It’s best to do this part on the baking sheet prepared with foil and non-stick spray.

Because the butter absorbs into the bread while baking, be generous with how much you brush on. Just like the cheese, more is better:) It prevents the rolls from drying out in the oven.

In only 7 minutes, the Cheesy Hawaiian Garlic Bread is done! Chances are, everyone will be lured into the kitchen because of the smell by now. There’s something about the smell of garlic bread baking that makes everyone instantly hungry. It’s that hint of sweetness in the Hawaiian rolls that makes this recipe over the top!
Consider serving these as a snack, as an appetizer, alongside a fresh salad, or as a side to a pasta dish!

Pinned this recipe and will be making it this week! I grew up eating these rolls but never tried to bake it with butter and garlic. I usually make homemade garlic bread. This sounds way easier!
