Italian Rolls PRINT

Italian Rolls
  • YIELD: 16 Servings

You can help the bread dough rise with Grandma’s technique. She heated the oven to a very low temperature-less than 100°F. Then she placed the dough in the bowl, put it in the oven and turned off the oven. The dough rose much more quickly in the oven than in a drafty kitchen.

Ingredients

cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 envelopes dry yeast
½ teaspoon each dried oregano, basil and thyme
1 cup milk
½ cup water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons garlic salt
2 large eggs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

1.Combine 4 cups flour, yeast, oregano, basil and thyme in a large bowl.

2.Combine milk, water, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and garlic salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture reaches 115ºF on an instant-read thermometer. Add eggs to milk mixture. Beat with an electric mixer set at low speed for 30 seconds. Beat at high speed for 3 minutes.

3.Add the Parmesan to the egg mixture and mix well. Stir into the flour mixture.

4.Transfer dough to a floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Shape into a ball. Transfer to a greased large bowl.

5.Let rise, covered, for 45 minutes. Punch down dough. Let stand for 10 minutes. Shape into 16 balls. Dip in melted butter. Arrange in a greased 9 × 9-inch baking pan. Let rise, covered, for 15 minutes.

6.Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

7.Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
