Parmesan Herb Dinner Rolls: Golden, Cheesy, Irresistibly Fluffy
Nothing says holiday table like warm dinner rolls fresh from the oven—crisp golden tops, pillowy centers, and a whisper of Parmesan that melts into every bite. These Parmesan Herb Dinner Rolls are the buttery, aromatic hug your Thanksgiving spread deserves, perfect for sopping up gravy or sneaking straight from the basket.
A quick crank with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater delivers feather-light Parmesan snow and uniform herb flecks—no clumps, no hassle. That’s the secret to bakery-level rolls at home.
🥘Ingredients (Makes 12 rolls)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm milk
2¼ tsp instant yeast
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 large egg
¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)
½ cup Parmesan (block for best texture)
2 tbsp fresh parsley (or 1 tbsp dried)
1 tsp dried oregano
Extra butter for brushing
🍲Step-by-Step: Rolls in 4 Cranks
1. Activate & Knead
Whisk warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let bloom. Add flour, salt, egg, and softened butter. Knead until smooth and elastic—silky dough that pulls from the bowl.
2. Cheese & Herb Magic
Switch crank cheese grater to fine shred blade. One smooth crank over Parmesan → fluffy cheese snow. Finely chop parsley if fresh. Fold cheese + herbs into dough until evenly streaked.
3. Shape & Rise
Divide into 12 balls. Tuck seams under. Place in a greased 9×13 pan. Cover and let rise until doubled—puffy and touching.
4. Bake & Brush
Bake in a hot oven until deep golden. Brush tops with melted butter the second they emerge—steam locks in softness. Serve warm.
