One Hour Garlic Parmesan rolls

For the rolls:
3-3/4 to 4-1/4 cups flour
1 TBS rapid rise yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup water
2/3 cup milk
4 TBS butter, diced into 1 TBS pieces, plus more for tops

For the garlic parmesan topping:
1/2 cup butter (one stick)
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 TBS garlic powder
1 tsp. parsley flakes

1.  Preheat oven to 180 degrees F. Add 3-3/4 cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer.

2.  Add water, milk and butter to a microwave safe bowl and and microwave on HIGH for about 1 minute and 15 seconds or until the mixture reaches 115 degrees on a thermometer. (Just needs to be warm and butter partially melted).

3.  Add the milk mixture to the stand mixer with the dry ingredients and knead on medium low for about 4 minutes. If the dough is really sticky, add a little more flour. (It's okay if it's a little bit sticky).

4.  Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for 5 minutes

5.  While the dough rests, prepare the garlic parmesan topping. Melt the butter in a small bowl. In another bowl combine the parmesan cheese, garlic powder and parsley flakes. Set aside.

6.  Grease a 9x13'' glass baking dish with butter. Flour your hands and divide the dough into 15 pieces, shaped into balls. Dip the tops of each dough ball in the melted butter, and then in the garlic/parmesan mixture and place them gently in the prepared pan.

7.  Transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Turn the oven OFF, and allow the rolls to rise for 20 minutes.

8.  Remove the rolls from the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Once heated, return rolls to the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes. Serve warm.
