Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 Egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is foamy and activated.
Add the melted butter (4 tablespoons), egg, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and 2 cups of flour to the bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are combined.
Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but smooth.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until elastic and soft.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the dough balls in the dish, leaving a small amount of space between each roll. Cover and let rise again for 20-30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining melted butter (2 tablespoons). If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and brush with an additional light coating of melted butter, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.
