Ingredients
FOR THE ROLLS
4 ½cups/ 540g cake / all purpose flour
3teaspoons/ 10g instant / rapid rise yeast
2tablespoons/ 25g sugar
1 ½teaspoonsfine salt
2tablespoonsdried mixed herbs or Italian herb mix SEE NOTE 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, herbs and salt.
Warm the milk and water in a jug or saucepan and add the crushed garlic, oil and eggs.
Pour the warmed milk mixture into the flour mixture. Mix it altogether with a fork until it forms a shaggy like dough and turn it onto a floured surface to be kneaded for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Place the kneaded dough into an oiled bowl and leave to rise for 45 minutes to an hour. During this time, the dough will double in size.
Knock down the risen dough and divide into 15 even pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place in a greased and lined tin. Cover and leave to rise again for about 20 to 30 minutes. After it has risen, brush using half of the garlic butter and top with grated cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven of 375°F / 180°C for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining garlic butter.
TO MAKE THE GARLIC BUTTER
Melt the butter with the crushed garlic in the microwave or on a pan on the stovetop.
Notes
I use dried mixed herbs or Italian herb mix. If you do not have these ingredients, then just use a tablespoon each of dried or fresh rosemary and thyme. Ensure that you chop the rosemary and thyme finely if you are using it fresh.
It’s important to make sure that the milk and water are just warm . If it’s too hot it will kill the yeast and the dough won’t rise and too cold, will not activate the yeast. If you are using a thermometer, it should read between 100° - 110° F ( 38° - 43°C )
