Ingredients:

For the Dough:

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon (15g) sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 teaspoons (10g) baking powder

5 tablespoons (70g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

3/4 cup (200g) cold buttermilk

For the Filling:

5 oz (140g) Mozzarella cheese, cut into 18 pieces

For Brushing the Tops:

2 tablespoons (30g) butter

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Dough: In a medium-large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and baking powder. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are no larger than peas.

Incorporate Buttermilk: Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently knead the mixture to bring the dough together. Once combined, refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes.

Prepare the Filling: While the dough is chilling, cut the Mozzarella into 18 small pieces.

Assemble the Cheese Bombs: Dust your working surface with flour and roll the dough into a 12×15 inch (30×40 cm) rectangle. Cut the dough into 18 pieces. Place a piece of Mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough piece, wrap the dough around the cheese, and seal the edges. Roll each piece into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake: Bake the cheese bombs in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Prepare Garlic Butter: While the cheese bombs are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Cook for 1 minute and then remove from heat.

Finish and Serve: Once the cheese bombs are out of the oven, brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture. Serve hot and enjoy!

Garlic Cheese Bombs are a mouthwatering treat that combines the flavors of garlic, butter, and melted cheese in a soft, flaky biscuit.

They are easy to make and perfect for serving as an appetizer, snack, or alongside your favorite meal.
