Very good flavour, the consistency was nice chewy but not too soft. I made two breads (baguette style) instead of the rolls and it was very appealing outside - dark crust with parmesan sprinkles. The baking time was exactly 25 minutes in my oven (high altitude at 4000 ft though). Very forgiving dough, I prepared the dough at noon, added a little bit more flour because the dough seemed too soft, then put it in the fridge until I was ready to fix supper. Worked just fine.
I will definitely make this recipe again but will not use the Parmesan cheese for the dough since nobody could taste it.
Only thing to say about the "Italian" part of the recipe name: I served the bread to my Italian guests, all from different parts of Italy, and even though everybody liked the bread nobody thought that there was anything Italian about it. Parmesan cheese is not known for baking in Italy but only on pasta or similar food. And Italian bread has always a hard and crunchy crust.
Never mind – I appreciate the recipe a lot and it adds some fun to the table when I tell my Italian guests: “This is original Italian Dinner Bread – EAT!” ;-))
