Basil Dinner Rolls Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 25 min.
  • Yield: 32 Servings
30 25 55

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 2-1/2 cups warm water (120° to 130°)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 7 to 7-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Melted butter

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, salt and 6 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Punch dough down; knead several times. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine basil, walnuts and cheese; reserve 2 tablespoons for topping.
  • Shape dough into 32 balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a 4-in. circle; place 16 rolls each, seam side down, on two greased baking sheets with rolls touching. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Brush tops with butter; sprinkle with reserved basil mixture. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Yield: 32 rolls.
