I wanted to make a big pot of soup on this very brisk day and decided to bake some homemade rolls too. Thankfully, I found 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’m 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.
How to Make Soft Parmesan Dinner Rolls
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 a 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.
Lay a piece of wax paper over the rolls and set it 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 the 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.

These are the BEST dinner rolls! Homemade bread is just the best!

Those look amazing!! It’s 6AM and I’m already craving a bowl of soup just so I have an excuse to make them.
I just ate a ham sandwich with white bread and now I’m sad. Because I know it would have been so much better on your rolls!
these look so good! i have doubts that any would make it into my soup–this is the kind of pillowy bread i like to just stuff into my face!
looks so delicious 😀
