Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme, etc.)
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 whole Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.

Step 2

Add the melted butter, milk, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

Cover the buns with a clean towel and let them rise again for 20-30 minutes until slightly puffed.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.

Step 8

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the buns.

Step 9

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).

Step 10

Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or use them as buns for sandwiches or sliders. Enjoy!
