Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme, etc.)
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 whole Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.
Add the melted butter, milk, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Cover the buns with a clean towel and let them rise again for 20-30 minutes until slightly puffed.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the buns.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or use them as buns for sandwiches or sliders. Enjoy!
