Ingredients
- 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk, warmed to 110°F
- 1/4 cup (60ml) water, warmed to 110°F
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and divided
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup (45g) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, water, and egg.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons melted butter with parsley, chives, thyme, and garlic powder.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 16 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball.
- Dip each dough ball into the herb butter mixture, then roll in Parmesan cheese.
- Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9-inch round or square baking pan.
- Cover and let rise again for about 30–40 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter and serve warm.
Notes
- These rolls can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
- You can substitute dried herbs if fresh ones aren’t available—use one-third the amount.
- Try adding shredded mozzarella for an extra cheesy version.
