Fresh Rosemary-Parmesan Rolls

By á-6416

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups warm water (95 to 100 degrees F)
• 1 tablespoon yeast
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 egg
• 4 1/2 to 5 cups all purpose flour (King Arthur is best)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, finely grated
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced or grated

Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add warm water, yeast, sugar and olive oil. Stir together and set aside about 5 minutes or until yeast starts to bubble.

Mix in egg and stir in 1 cup of flour. Add salt and an additional 2 cups of flour, Parmesan cheese and rosemary, stirring until well combined. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.

Pour onto a well floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes, adding flour about 1/4 to 1/2 cup at a time as needed. Dough should be flexible but not sticky.

Shape into rolls and place in a well-greased baking pan. I used 2 small pans.

Cover with a flour sack towel and allow to rise for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

While rolls are baking, add butter and minced garlic clove to a small saucepan. Cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

When you remove rolls from oven, immediately brush them with garlic butter and devour!
