Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water, divided (about 110-115°F)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Asiago cheese

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 2 teaspoons sugar and the yeast. Add 1/2 cup of the warm water; stir to dissolve. Let stand 5 minutes until yeast is foamy, then add remaining sugar and water, oil, 3 cups of the flour and the salt. Stir to combine.
  • Using dough hook on medium speed, knead dough in stand mixer 5 minutes, adding enough of the remaining flour until a smooth, elastic and only slightly sticky dough forms;
    OR, turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead by hand 10 minutes, adding enough of the remaining flour until a smooth, elastic and only slightly sticky dough forms.
  • Shape dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl; turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place 1 hour until doubled.
  • Punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, divide into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into an elongated oval shape about 5 inches long, then transfer to lightly greased or silicone mat-lined baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each piece of dough.
  • Use a sharp serrated knife to slash tops of dough about 1/4-inch deep. Cover baking sheets with a tea towel or greased plastic wrap and let sit 30 minutes until dough is nearly doubled and puffy.
  • While dough is rising, heat oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together water, melted butter, egg yolk, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder and onion powder. When dough is ready to bake, brush tops and sides with herb mixture. Sprinkle with the shredded Asiago cheese.
  • Bake 20 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until rolls are baked through and cheese on top is melted and browned. Cool rolls completely on a cooling rack before slicing.

Fantastic! Subbed sourdough discard for some of the water and flour, and added onion powder, garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the dough as well as the topping. Mixed and kneaded dough by hand. Made 7 big buns.

BREAD CAME OUT VERY TASTY AND FLUFFY. Mine didn’t rise in the pan as much as i would like though. Once i did the final rise (they rose to twice the size) and then i separated them into the eight rolls and placed them on the baking pan for the last rise, they flattened out more than i would have liked. Probably was “user error” on my part.

Hi Sandy – Yes, you can use Colby or any other shredded cheese you have on hand or prefer. Use the same amount.
Happy baking!

Very good. Made these for two people so I did 4 hoagie, 2 hot dog, and 4 small dinner rolls. Used fresh chopped rosemary, sage, and thyme and I mixed it into the dough along with a sprinkle on top, instead of the “Italian herb and garlic”. Came out light and tasty. Must do lots more!
