Oven

Ingredients

1 cup warm water
1/2 cup milk, warmed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine water, milk, butter, and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and whisk lightly then allow to sit for 5 minutes or until foamy.
Add the flour and salt; using an electric mixer, mix for 4 to 5 minutes using a dough hook on medium-low setting.
Once the dough is smooth, transfer to a greased bowl.
Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it rise for 15 minutes.
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece of dough into a ball and place on a greased 9x13 baking dish.
Cover the dish with a damp towel and let the dough balls rise for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400˚F.
Once the rolls have risen, sprinkle each roll with parmesan cheese and parsley.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from oven and let stand for a few minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

You can also knead by hand; this will take longer to knead, but the dough is ready when it is very smooth, with a stretchy, even texture.
