Provided by Naomi Andres

Categories     Side Dish

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup warm water (110℉)
2 teaspoons granulated white sugar, divided
1 teaspoon active dry yeast (traditional)
3/4 cup warm water (110℉)
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1/4 cup shredded Grana Padano or parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 1/2 - 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Stir 1 teaspoon of sugar and yeast into the 1/2 cup of warm water and let sit for 10 minutes until the mixture is frothy and bubbly. In another bowl, stir together the shredded cheese, salt, remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar, thyme, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Place the 3/4 cup of warm water and melted butter in a large bowl. Add 2 cups of flour and the cheese/herb mixture and stir. Add the yeast mixture once it's frothy and continue stirring while adding another 1/2 cup of flour.
  • Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured counter and knead for 5 minutes or until the dough is soft, smooth and no longer sticking to your hands. Dust the counter with a small amount of flour when you notice the dough sticking to your hands but try not to add too much extra flour (too much flour will make the dough tough). Form the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a dry towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. The dough should double in size.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. After the dough has risen, punch it down into the bowl and knead a few times to get the air bubbles out. Cut the dough in half and then cut each half into 8 equal pieces - 16 pieces in total. Form each piece into a bun and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and a dry towel and let rise in a warm place again for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350℉ a few minutes before the buns finish rising.
  • After the buns have risen, remove the towel and the plastic wrap and bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving with butter. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh herbs. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake the rolls on a greased baking sheet. Just be sure to preheat the baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes before adding the rolls.
  • Be careful not to overproof the rolls. If they overproof, they will be too dense and chewy.
  • If you want to make the rolls ahead of time, you can shape them and let them rise in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, preheat the oven and bake the rolls according to the recipe instructions.
  • Serve the rolls warm with your favorite dipping sauce or spread.
