These are the best rolls. They melt in your mouth! They take a little time but are so worth it.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
These gruyere rolls might not make it to your dinner table... they smell so good, your family may grab one right as they come out of the oven. Gruyere cheese is a nutty, savory cheese that adds rich flavor to the dinner rolls. Once baked, they have a slight crunch on top, but the inside is nice and fluffy. Thanks to their savory angle, they'd be great served alongside a saucy pasta dish or a bowl of soup.

How To Make gruyere rolls
-
Step 1Combine 2 3/4 cups of the flour, yeast packet, salt, and sugar.
-
Step 2Mix in the grated cheese.
-
Step 3Gradually add the very warm water to the flour mixture, beating at high speed with an electric mixer until combined. Beat 2 more minutes at medium speed.
-
Step 4Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
-
Step 5Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes).
-
Step 6Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees F), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
-
Step 7Punch the dough down; turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly 4 or 5 times. Divide the dough in half. Shape each portion into 8 balls.
-
Step 8Form those 8 portions into balls and roll them in flour. Repeat and make 8 more balls and place them on a greased baking sheet 2 inches apart. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
-
Step 9Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray the rolls lightly with water. Place the rolls in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
-
Step 10Spray again after 3 minutes without removing them from the oven. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 13 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Step 11Brush with melted butter while they are hot.
