Garlic Rolls

I found this recipe years ago on the Internet. I was concerned that it wouldn't turn out well, so I made them shortly after lunch (in order to try them). Yeah - we ate all 24 of them and I had to make another batch for dinner! And the kids were young - between 3 and 11!

These are delicious with spaghetti, lasagna, and Pasta e Fagioli. Do have a little restraint - don't eat all of them in one sitting!

Garlic Cheese Rolls for Bread Machine

1 cup water
3 cups bread flour
1½ teaspoons salt
1½ tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
2 teaspoons yeast
¼ cup butter, melted
1 garlic clove, crushed (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Place first 7 ingredients in bread pan and select dough cycle. When cycle is finished, turn dough onto a floured countertop or cutting board (use flour sparingly). Grease two 8” pie pans or one 13”x9” pan.  Gently form dough into a large ball. With a sharp knife, divide dough into 24 pieces (you can either roll the ball into a rope and cut or just cut wedges). Shape into balls; place into prepared pans. In small bowl, combine butter and garlic; pour over rolls. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until doubled. Heat oven to 375F while the rolls rise. When the rolls are ready (they'll be puffy and spring back when gently touched), bake at for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven, cut apart, and serve warm.
