(Courtesy of More Recipes from the Heart of Union County)

Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. warm water
1 Tbsp. yeast
1 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/4 tsp. salt
4 c. flour
3 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
BUTTER MIXTURE:
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 tsp. garlic powder
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. dried parsley

Directions:
Dissolve yeast in warm water.  Add oil, sugar and salt.  Stir in flour until it is too stiff to stir with a spoon.  Dump on a floured surface and knead several minutes.  Let rise until double in size.  Roll out to a 15x15 inch square, using flour as you roll the dough.  Cut strips of dough with a pizza cutter.  Cut each strip into 3 pieces, each 5 inches long.  

Mix together the butter mixture ingredients.  Dip pieces of dough into butter mixture, twist and place on cookie sheet.  Let rise a second time.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes or until golden brown.  For extra richness, brush rolls with butter as they are taken out of the oven.  

Note~  Can sprinkle with mozzarella cheese when done baking, then put back into the oven until the cheese is melted.
