Herbed Dinner Rolls

To dress up everyday Dinner Rolls (recipe at right), our Test Kitchen brushes herbed butter over the dough, then forms accordion rolls. The aroma while baking is incredible!

24 ServingsPrep: 40 min. + chilling Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 teaspoon plus 1/3 cup sugar, divided
1-1/4 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 egg white, beaten

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar.
Add the milk, melted butter, eggs, salt, 3 cups flour and remaining
sugar; 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 the
top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; place on a lightly floured surface. Divide into
four portions. Roll each portion into a 14-in. x 6-in. rectangle.
Combine softened butter and Italian seasoning; spread over dough.

Directions (continued)

Score each rectangle widthwise at 2-in. intervals. Using marks as a
guide, fold dough accordion-style back and forth along score lines.
Cut folded dough into six 1-in. pieces. Place pieces cut side down
in greased muffin cups. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate
for 8 hours or overnight.
Uncover and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before
baking. Brush with egg white. Bake at 375° for 18-22 minutes or
until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm.
Yield: 2 dozen.
