1 tsp salt

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Prepare the Dough:
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.
Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg to the flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Prepare the Filling:
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Rolls:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 16 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly.
Dip each flattened piece into the herb butter mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Fold the dough pieces in half and arrange them in the prepared baking dish in a single layer, overlapping slightly if needed.
Brush any remaining herb butter over the top of the rolls.
Bake the Rolls:
Cover the baking dish with a damp cloth and let the rolls rise for another 15-20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve:

Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Herb and Cheese Pull-Apart Rolls warm!
