"Over the years, I've added a pinch of this and a dash of that to this recipe until my family agreed it was just right. These rolls are especially good served warm with spaghetti and lasagna."

Original Recipe Yield 16 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and seasonings. In a saucepan, heat the milk, water and 2 tablespoons butter to 120 degrees F-130 degrees F. Add to dry ingredients; beat until moistened. Add egg; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3-5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 16 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Melt remaining butter; dip tops of balls in butter and remaining Parmesan cheese. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan or two 8-in. round baking pans. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
