Parmesan Herb Rolls
- Rolls
- 1 packet active dry yeast (1 tbsp)
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons fresh oregano, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh chive, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus up to 1/2 cup more for kneading
- Topping
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 ounce parmesan cheese, grated
- rosemary leaves for garnish (optional)
- In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle yeast over water and let stand until dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir in sugar, salt, herbs, butter, egg and milk. Stir in 3-1/4 cup of flour and mix well.
- Turn out dough onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth, elastic and not sticky, about 10 minutes; add flour as needed to prevent sticking, but no more than 1/2 cup. (If you have a stand mixer, you may choose to do this step with a dough hook on medium-low speed.) Place dough in well-oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or as long as 24 hours.
- Remove dough from refrigerator and knead until smooth. Form 12 balls of equal size and place them in a well-greased baking pan (9x13 works well). Cover with plastic wrap (you may want to oil the wrap slightly if you think the rolls will come in contact with the plastic.) Allow to rise to about double in size. In my kitchen, this usually takes about 3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg and sprinkle parmesan cheese over the tops of the rolls. If you like, add a few leaves of rosemary to the top for garnish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
