Introduction:
If you love garlic bread and you love cheesy pull-apart breads, this Cheesy Hawaiian Roll Garlic Bread
is about to become your new favorite side dish. It’s made with sweet, soft Hawaiian rolls sliced into a “grid,”
stuffed with cheese, and brushed with a buttery garlic-herb mixture that soaks into every crevice. The result is
golden on top, tender in the middle, and loaded with stretchy, melty cheese in every pull.
This recipe is perfect for pasta night, soups, game day spreads, potlucks, and holidays—basically any time you need
a warm, comforting bread that disappears fast. It’s also incredibly simple: you don’t need homemade dough, you don’t
need fancy equipment, and you can customize the cheese, herbs, and add-ins to match whatever you’re serving.
The sweet-salty contrast is what makes Hawaiian rolls special here. That slight sweetness balances the garlic,
butter, and cheese in a way that feels extra craveable, and it turns a familiar side dish into something people
immediately ask you to make again.
