21 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 14 teaspoons dry yeast
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 12 tablespoon lukewarm water
  • 3 cups flour, may use up to 1 1/4 cup wheat flour in place of white flour for better nutrition (start with 3 cups flour and add a little if too sticky, amount may need to be adjusted based on your)
  • 1 12 teaspoons salt
  • 1 12 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 12 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
  • 4 12 teaspoons butter or 4 12 teaspoons shortening
  • 1 egg, large
  • Pam cooking spray

  • parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix yeast and warm water in breadpan to proof.
  2. 2
    Add remaining dough ingredients.
  3. 3
    Start manual bread setting on bread machine.
  4. 4
    When it is well mixed, touch to see if it feels too sticky (in my machine, you can touch it to test after about 4 minutes of mixing).
  5. 5
    If you are not an experienced bread maker, you may need to experiment with figuring out the right stickiness.
  6. 6
    If it is too sticky, it will be difficult to make it into rolls, if it has too much flour, the quality and flavor will not be the best.
  7. 7
    The goal is to get a good, workable dough that is just barely past the too sticky point.
  8. 8
    Run on dough setting in bread machine (my setting is 1 1/2 hours).
  9. 9
    Divide dough into 6 pieces.
  10. 10
    Divide each piece into 4 pieces.
  11. 11
    Roll all 24 pieces into balls.
  12. 12
    Spray pam on muffin tins (for 12 medium/large rolls) or your choice of baking pan.
  13. 13
    Melt 2-3 T butter.
  14. 14
    Roll each piece in butter, and put 2 pieces in each tin side by side (or side by side in pan).
  15. 15
    Sprinkle with parmesan cheese (when I first married 13 years ago, I used canned parmesan cheese.
  16. 16
    Now I use the real stuff and buy it in bulk at Costco -- it's much better!
  17. 17
    ).
  18. 18
    Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  19. 19
    Bake at 375 for 10-11 minutes.
