Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup (240ml) warm water (about 110°F / 45°C)
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups (315–375g) all-purpose flour
Topping Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60g) melted butter
- 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is active and ready.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the vegetable oil and salt to the yeast mixture to combine.
- Add flour: Gradually mix in 2 1/2 cups of flour. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour one tablespoon at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic, which develops the gluten for structure.
- Let it rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the rolls: Punch down the risen dough to release air, then divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
- Second rise: Place the dough balls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them, and let rise again for 30 minutes to become puffy.
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the correct baking temperature.
- Add toppings: Brush the tops of the rolls generously with melted butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for a rich and savory finish.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown and the rolls are cooked through.
- Serve warm: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally, add extra butter when serving for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- Adjust flour quantity as needed to achieve a soft but not sticky dough.
- Cover dough tightly during rising phases to prevent drying out.
- Use fresh yeast for best results.
- Parmesan cheese topping adds a savory nutty flavor but can be omitted for a simple buttery roll.
- Serve these rolls freshly baked for the best texture and flavor.
