    List of Ingredients


    • 2 1/4 tsp fast acting yeast (or 1 pkg)
    • 1/4 cup warm water (105 to 110F)
    • 2 tsp sugar
    • 1 cup milk, just to scalding hot (do not simmer or boil)
    • 2 T sugar (optional)
    • 1/4 cup butter
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 egg, lightly beaten
    • 3 1/2 cups bread flour (dough will be somewhat sticky, but the less you use, the lighter the rolls)
    • 1 cup whole wheat flour
    • 3 T vital wheat gluten (optional)
    • 2 T butter, melted, for brushing
    • For the topping:
    • 1/2 stick melted butter, regular, salted
    • freshly grated Parmesan cheese (or Parmesiano-Reggiano works wells, too)


    Instructions


    1. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Stir in the 2 tsp sugar. Let sit for about 5 minutes until mixture foams up.
    2. Heat milk in microwave (or in small saucepan on stove top).
    3. Add sugar, butter, & salt to hot milk and stir until butter is melted. Cool to 105-110F.
    4. Pour milk mixture into bowl of stand mixer.
    5. Add the yeast mixture and egg and mix together.
    6. Mix in all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, & vital wheat gluten (if using), beating to form a soft dough. Knead with mixer for 5 minutes, adding extra flour, if needed.
    7. Place dough in warm oiled or buttered bowl, turning greased side up. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place* until doubled in bulk, about 60 minutes. *NOTE: Preheat oven to WARM and then immediately turn it off. Dough rise in 45 minutes. Use bread machine fast-acting yeast.
    8. Gently, press dough down and hand-knead for 5 minutes on lightly floured surface.
    9. Divide dough into 9 pieces and shape into round rolls. Place them seam side down into a seasoned and lightly oiled cast iron skillet. (You can also use a baking pan).
    10. Bake at 375F for a total of 18-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Towards the last five minutes of baking, remove the rolls and quickly brush with melted butter (about 1/4 cup) and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
    11. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter.
