Ingredients

OR

2 cups Sacramento Fresh Canned Tomato Juice 46 oz, heated until warm

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 6-8 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step one

Preheat oven to 375° F. In a small bowl combine yeast and warm water. Stir to combine and let soften for about 10 minutes.

Step two

In a separate bowl combine tomato juice, eggs, sugar and salt; stir to combine. Add softened yeast and half of the flour; mix well. Add butter and rest of flour.

Step three

Mix together very well by kneading for several minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size, about 1½ hours.

Step four

Punch down dough and divide dough into 24 pieces. To shape into rolls, tuck the edges underneath to form a plump little package, then roll the dough against the counter or between your palms until round.

Step five

Line two 9 x 13 inch baking sheets with parchment and spray with nonstick coating. Arrange the rolls on the baking sheet about an inch apart. Or spray two 9-inch cake pans and arrange rolls leaving about an inch between each. Let rolls rise until puffy and fill the pan with no gaps between the rolls, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Step six

Bake the rolls until puffed, dry on top, and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle top with grated Parmesan cheese and bake one minute to melt cheese.
