Soft Parmesan Dinner Rolls

I wanted to make a big pot of soup on this very brisk day and decided to bake some homemade rolls too. I saw this recipe on Garlic and Zest that looked too delicious to resist – buttery parmesan dinner rolls? Yes please! I used my bread maker for the first portion of the recipe (if you don’t have one click on the link for non-bread machine instructions). I halved the recipe because we didn’t need a ton of dinner rolls and thankfully it worked well. Yay! I am always intimidated with recipes that use yeast but thankfully it gets easier every time I try. These soft parmesan dinner rolls were a hit with the whole family and disappeared quickly.

Place all dough ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed. Select the dough cycle and press start. Once the bread machine stops (it was one and a half hours on my machine). Grease an 9×9 baking dish. Divide the dough into 9-12 pieces (depending on the size of roll you desire) then shape each piece into a ball. Place in the prepared baking dish.

Place dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Ingredients

• 
  
• Parmesan Rolls:
• 1/2 + 2 tbsp milk warmed
• 2 tbsp butter melted
• 1 egg whisked

• Toppings:

Instructions

• Place all dough ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed. Select the dough cycle and press start. Once the bread machine stops (it was one and a half hours on my machine). Grease an 9x9 baking dish. Divide the dough into 9-12 pieces (depending on the size of roll you desire) then shape each piece into a ball. Place in the prepared baking dish.
• Lay a piece of wax paper over the rolls and set in a warm place to rise for another hour. When the dough has doubled in size, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Lightly beat the remaining egg and brush it over the rolls which helps give the rolls a golden brown color and sheen.
• Place dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter then sprinkle with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve and enjoy.
