Description
Delicious Italian Herb and Cheese Rolls, perfect for any meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups warm water
- 4 Tbsp dry active yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup instant mashed potato flakes (optional)
- 7 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 Tbsp oregano
- 2 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp dried parsley
- 2 Tbsp parmesan cheese
- to taste Shredded Colby cheese
- to taste Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the dry active yeast and warm water until combined. Add sugar, oil, salt, eggs, and instant mashed potato flakes if using, and whisk everything together until smooth.
- Gradually add the bread flour to the wet mixture and use the dough hook attachment to knead on low speed for 6 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Then, let the dough rest in the bowl for 10 minutes to allow gluten to relax.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces, then cut each piece in half again to create 8 equal pieces total. Gently pat and roll each piece into a 12-inch log shape.
- Lightly spray or brush the tops of the dough logs with water. Dredge each roll evenly into the prepared Italian Herb Seasoning mixture, ensuring the tops are coated with the herbs and parmesan.
- Place the rolls onto silicone sub roll mats or a lined baking sheet spaced evenly. Score the tops with 3 to 4 slashes using a sharp knife or razor blade to allow for expansion during baking.
- Allow the shaped dough rolls to rise in a warm place until they have tripled in size, which can take up to 1 hour depending on ambient temperature.
- Once risen, sprinkle the tops of the rolls generously with shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the silicone mats or baking pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain shape and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to let the dough rise properly for the best texture.
- Experiment with different cheese blends for varied flavors.
