Ingredients

  • 4 Cups strong bread making flour
  • 2 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon instant dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon salt
  • 1 Teaspoon rosemary
  • 1 Teaspoon thyme
  • 3/4 Cup water
  • 2/3 Cup milk
  • 3 Tablespoon butter cut into small pieces

For topping the rolls:

  • Extra melted butter
  • 1 Teaspoon rosemary
  • 1 Teaspoon thyme

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, rosemary, thyme and yeast. Stir and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan set over medium to low heat, add the milk, water and butter. Stir until the butter is pretty soft and the mixture is hot to touch. Remove from heat.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the milk mixture. Using a fork or spoon, start mixing the flour into the milk. Continue doing this until it is completely combined. Dough may be sticky.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-8 minutes. This dough will probably be sticky and that is okay. Use little bits of flour while you knead the dough if you find it is too sticky.
  • Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with a damp tea towel. Leave it in a warm place to rise for about an hour. The dough should double in size.
  • Punch the dough down and then divide it into 15 equal parts. Gently roll each one into a ball.
  • Lightly grease a deep sided 16 x 10 inch baking dish. Evenly place the dough balls in the baking dish. Cover and leave in a warm place to rise for another hour or until it has doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. When the rolls are ready, place them in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden.
  • Remove from oven.
  • In a small bowl, combine the extra melted butter with the rosemary and thyme. Brush warm rolls with the melted butter. Great served hot!
