Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 Egg
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese or melted butter (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, warm the milk, water, and 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat until lukewarm (around 110°F). Remove from heat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Pour in the warm milk mixture and stir until smooth.

Step 3

Add the egg and mix well. Gradually add the remaining flour, 0.5 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Punch down the dough and divide it evenly into 12 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and arrange them in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7

Cover the rolls loosely and let them rise for 30 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 9

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes. Then, take each roll and, using a serrated knife, slice them horizontally in half.

Step 10

Spread a thin layer of melted butter over the cut sides of the rolls, or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic powder for added flavor.

Step 11

Place the sliced rolls back in the oven, cut-side up, and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy these flavorful, twice baked rolls as a side dish or snack.
