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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until elastic and soft.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and brush with an additional light coating of melted butter, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.
