Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Warm milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
• 2 tablespoons Additional grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Stir to mix.

Step 2

Add warm milk, softened butter, and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.

Step 3

Gradually mix in the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining 0.5 cups of flour until the dough becomes soft and slightly sticky.

Step 4

Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.

Step 6

Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

Step 8

Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space for expansion.

Step 9

Cover the rolls with a clean towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes until puffy.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil or melted butter. If desired, sprinkle additional grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 12

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Parmesan Rolls as a savory accompaniment to soups, salads, or pasta dishes!
