4¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ Tbsp. kosher salt
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup non-fat powdered milk
1 tsp. each dried thyme, rosemary, chives, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder
¼ cup solid shortening
1 package (.25 oz.) active dry yeast
1½ cups warm water
Coating
4 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. sweet paprika
½ cup butter, melted
Cooking spray
•
In the bowl of the electric mixer, combine flour, salt, sugar, powdered milk and
dried herbs. With the dough hook attachment, stir ingredients on low setting for
2 minutes. Add solid shortening and continue to mix with dough hook for
2 minutes until shortening has been cut into small pieces within the flour.
•
In a small bowl, mix yeast with warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes until slightly foamy.
•
Add yeast/water to the dry ingredients and knead on low for 8 minutes until dough
is light, supple, and somewhat soft. (If dough is too sticky, add ¼ cup of flour.)
•
Place dough in greased bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let
rise until double (roughly 1 hour) in a warm place.
•
For the coating, in small bowl, mix together parmesan cheese, garlic salt and
paprika. Set aside. In a separate bowl, place melted butter.
•
Once dough has doubled, carefully deflate by folding it onto itself. Let sit for
5 minutes. Shape dough into 20 balls (about 1½ inch in diameter).
•
Preheat oven to 350° F.
•
Dip dough balls in butter, roll in coating, and place inside a greased 8"x 8" pan.
Repeat until all dough balls have been used.
•
Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
•
Bake 30–35 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool 15 minutes before inverting
onto a serving plate.
