- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups (366 g) whole milk

Instructions
- To the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, add 3 cups of flour, dry yeast, sugar, egg, and salt. Mix to combine.

- Add remaining ½ cup flour, cheese, garlic, and chives. Knead until the dough is very soft, pulling away from the sides of the bowl. If the dough seems too wet, add more flour in ¼ cup increments until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl while kneading.

- When ready, remove the plastic wrap and punch down the dough.
- Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces and shape into balls. Place into the prepared baking dish.
- Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Bake the rolls for 22-27 minutes, or until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, and chives. Brush the warm rolls with the garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle the tops of the rolls with salt. Serve warm.
