Dinner Rolls in a Round Pan

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, the sugar, yeast and salt. Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and then beat the mixture in a stand mixer at medium speed for three minutes or until it's smooth. Stir in the shredded cheese and enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Step 2

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until the dough ball becomes smooth and elastic, four to six minutes. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 13 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place the balls in a greased 9-inch round baking pan.

Step 4

Cover the pan loosely with a damp cloth. Let the dough balls rise in a warm place until they have doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the rolls for 11 to 14 minutes or until they're lightly browned. Editor's Tip: If the rolls start to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil until the end of the baking time. If they're still pale after 14 minutes, move them closer to the oven's top heating element and bake them a few minutes longer, watching closely to avoid burning the tops.

Step 6

Combine the honey, garlic salt and remaining 4 teaspoons butter. Brush the honey-garlic butter over the hot rolls. Transfer the rolls from the pan to a wire rack.
