Ingredients

Rolls

1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast
1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup warm milk
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Gorgonzola dip

2/3 cup sour cream
2 3/8 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
1 1/2 ounces shredded white cheddar

Topping

1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped finely (to taste, for garnish)

Instructions

Make the rolls: Place yeast and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix melted butter and milk in a small bowl. The mixture should feel warm to the touch, but not too hot to touch (110-115°F). Pour over yeast/sugar and stir to combine. Mix in salt and egg. Mix in flour a little bit at a time until the dough comes together. If the dough still feels very sticky, add a little bit extra flour.
Turn out onto a floured board and knead for five minutes.
Divide dough into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a small log, sprinkle the log with poppy seeds, and tie into a knot. Place knots in a circle around the perimeter of a 9 1/2-inch oven-safe skillet. Cover and set aside while you make the dip (the rolls need to rest for ten minutes before baking).
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Make the Gorgonzola Dip: Mix sour cream and Gorgonzola cheese in a small bowl. Mix in white cheddar until fully combined.
Pour dip into the center of the skillet with the dough knots.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the rolls are lightly browned on top.
Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix lemon juice and melted butter. Brush lemon butter over the tops of the rolls.
Distribute lemon zest and Parmesan evenly over the rolls.
Sprinkle parsley over the dip.
Serve immediately.
