Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet instant yeast
• 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (for Italian butter)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon salt (for Italian butter)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Add the warm water, melted butter, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes, until puffy.

Step 8

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 9

While the rolls bake, prepare the Italian butter by combining the unsalted butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, Parmesan cheese, and salt in a small bowl. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 10

Serve the warm rolls with the Italian butter on the side, or spread a generous amount of butter over the rolls before serving.
