Instructions
1
In the bread machine pan, combine water, bread flour, salt, butter, sugar, nonfat dry milk powder, and yeast in the specified order. Select the 'Dough' cycle and start the machine.
2
Once the dough cycle is complete, carefully remove the dough from the bread pan and place it on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll and stretch the dough into a 24-inch rope.
3
Prepare your baking pans by greasing two 8-inch pie pans or one 13x9-inch pan.
4
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough rope into 24 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and arrange them in the prepared pans.
5
In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and crushed garlic. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the shaped rolls.
6
Sprinkle the rolls generously with parmesan cheese. Covet the pans with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and allow the rolls to rise in a warm space for 30 to 45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
7
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

After baking, remove the rolls from the oven, cut them apart if needed, and serve warm to enjoy their buttery, cheesy goodness.

Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?

Why is nonfat dry milk powder included in the ingredients?
Milk powder enhances the flavor, helps the crust brown effectively, and creates a softer texture in the finished bread.
