One-Hour Dinner Rolls Italiano

Andy had these rolls growing up, so I got the recipe from my mother-in-law and made them tonight. They were wonderful! And so fast!

3 1/2 to 4 cups all purpose flour
2 pkgs dry yeast
2 Tbs sugar
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 Tbs butter or margarine
1 egg
1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbs butter, melted
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese

In large mixer bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt and seasoning; mix well. Heat water, milk, and butter until warm (120-130 degrees, butter does not need to melt); add to flour mixture. Add egg. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 min at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in 1/2 cup cheese and enough remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead on well-floured surface until smooth (3-5 min). Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm oven (turn oven on lowest setting for 1 minute, turn off) for 15 min.

Punch down dough and divide into 16 pieces. Form into balls. Dip tops into melted butter and 1/4 cup cheese. Place in well-greased 13x9 pan or two 8-inch rounds. Cover and let rise in warm oven about 10 minutes. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

*I didn't have Italian seasoning, so I made up my own (1/4 tsp each of basil, oregano, and rosemary because that's what I had). If anyone has any good recipes for homemade Italian seasoning, I would love to see them!
