Herb Dinner Rolls

Ingredients:

(dough)

2 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour

1/2 tsp. salt

2 1/4 tsps. (or one 1/4 oz. package) of active dry yeast

1 tsp. baking powder

2 tbsps. sugar

1 1/4 cup warm water

(topping)

1/2 tbsp. butter melted

1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp. basil

1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1/4 tsp. kosher salt

1/4 tsp. oregano

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1 tbsp. parmesan cheese

 

Directions:

Step 1: Take a pie dish out (I used my glass pyrex pie pan) and spray with canola oil.  Make the dough by combining your dry ingredients and stirring.  Either using a spatula or the dough hook on your mixer slowly add in the warm water until the sticky dough comes together.  Take out using a medium size ice cream scoop or your hands golf ball size balls of dough, placing them in your pie pan.

Step 2: Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm place until at least double in size (2 hrs), once the dough has risen pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.  Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with 1/2 of the herb mixture (saving the second half to dip bread in or for the next time you make rolls) and finally with parmesan cheese.

Step 3: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown, serve and enjoy!
