PARMESAN HERB CLOVERLEAF ROLLS

NOTE: This is an easy recipe but not a quick one. Your active time on this recipe is around 20 minutes. However, there is thawing and rising times that make the total time almost 3 hours. You cannot just come home and pop these in the oven, unless you have done thawing and rising while you are going about your other business.

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

2 tbsp dried garden herb seasoning blend

2 (1-lb) loaves frozen bread dough, thawed

1/2 cup unsalted butter

Coat 18 muffin cups with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine Parmesan and herb seasoning blend. Cut dough into 18 pieces; cut each piece into 3 pieces. Roll pieces into balls. Roll each ball in butter, then in the Parmesan mixture. Place 3 balls in each muffin cup. Let rise in a warm place (85-degrees) free from drafts, until doubled in size, about 2 hours. 

Heat oven to 375-degrees. Bake rolls until golden brown and baked through, 12-15 minutes. Cool in pans 2 minutes. Transfer from pans to a basket or bowl and serve warm.

Yield: 18 rolls
