Soft Parmesan Dinner Rolls

There’s nothing quite like the aroma of freshly baked bread filling your kitchen, and these Soft Parmesan Dinner Rolls are the perfect addition to any meal.

Ingredients:

- 1 ¼ cups warm milk 100°-105°F
- 1 package rapid rise yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 3 extra large eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter at room temperature
- 4 ½ cups bread flour divided
- 1 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated

For Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions:

In a small bowl, lightly beat 2 of the eggs with a fork and set aside.
In the bowl attachment of a stand mixer combine the milk and yeast (Make sure the milk is between 100° and 105° — too hot and it will kill the yeast – and the rolls won’t rise). Use a conventional whisk to whisk together the yeast and the milk. Add the sugar, salt, beaten eggs, butter, and 1 cup of the bread flour and the parmesan cheese. Whisk together to combine.
Add the remaining 3½ cups of bread flour and place the mixing bowl in the stand mixer. Attach the dough hook and knead the flour into the yeast mixture on medium speed for 6-7 minutes or until the dough is soft and elastic.
Lightly oil a large mixing bowl with canola oil and set the dough in the center, turning once or twice to get a light sheen of oil on the dough. Cover the dough with a tea towel and set it in a cold oven to proof for one hour, or until doubled in size.
Spray vegetable spray in a large rectangular pan (I used my lasagna pan 11″ x 15″) or use two smaller pans. Divide the dough into quarters. Divide each quarter into sixths and roll each into a ball. Place in the pan so that the dough balls do not touch.
Lay a piece of wax paper over the rolls and set in a cold oven to rise for another hour. When the dough has doubled in volume, remove it from the oven and preheat the oven to 375°.
Lightly beat the remaining egg and brush it over the rolls. The egg wash gives the rolls a sheen. When the oven is hot, bake the rolls for 20 minutes.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve.
