Ingredients: 3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour; 2 tablespoons sugar; 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast; 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic salt; 1 teaspoon onion powder; 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning; 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes; 1 cup 2% milk; 1/2 cup water; 4 tablespoons butter, divided; 1 egg; 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Over the years, I've added a pinch of this and a dash of that to this recipe until my family agreed it was just right. These rolls are especially good served warm with spaghetti and lasagna.

Ingredients

3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 egg
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and seasonings. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water and 2 tablespoons butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until moistened. Add egg; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 15 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Melt remaining butter; dip tops of balls in butter and remaining cheese.
Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

these were good but I'll have the recipe next time. I thought they would have more of a flavor to them, next time I'll add more cheese or garlic salt.
