Easy Cheesy Bread

Tonight I made a batch of chili...perfect for a cold Wisconsin evening. We are getting ready to watch the Packers on Sunday Night Football, but wanted to share the bread I made to accompany my famous chili.

It couldn't be easier; it starts with frozen dough! I keep seeing recipes making cinnamon rolls from frozen dough, so I gave it a try with some savory flavors. I hope you try making these with your next batch of chili or stew.

Easy Cheesy Bread

1 loaf frozen bread dough
flour, as needed

2-3 Tablespoons margarine
2-3 Tablespoons garlic powder
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Defrost bread dough according to manufacturer directions. When the bread is fully defrosted and risen slightly, roll the loaf out on a floured surface. Roll dough out to approximately 12 inches by 6 inches.

Spray an eight-inch cake pan with non-stick spray.

When the dough is rolled flat, spread margarine evenly over the surface. Sprinkle with the garlic powder and then the cheese. Roll the dough like you would if assembling a cinnamon roll, rolling up from the long side of the dough. Cut the rolled dough into 8-10 pieces. Place each piece cut side down into the prepared cake pan. Set the rolls aside and allow them to rise, at least an hour.
