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
- Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Stir in the 2 tsp sugar. Let sit for about 5 minutes until mixture foams up.
- Heat milk in microwave (or in small saucepan on stove top).
- Add sugar, butter, & salt to hot milk and stir until butter is melted. Cool to 105-110F.
- Pour milk mixture into bowl of stand mixer.
- Add the yeast mixture and egg and mix together.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gently, press dough down and hand-knead for 5 minutes on lightly floured surface.
- 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).
- 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.
- Brush tops of rolls with melted butter.
