– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1 ½ teaspoons salt
– 1 cup warm water (110°F or 43°C)

Instructions
Creating Garlic Parmesan Dinner Rolls can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, minced garlic, and activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
6. Shape the Rolls: After the first rise, punch down the dough gently. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
7. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes.
8. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
10. Add Cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the rolls before baking.
11. Bake: Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
12. Brush with Butter: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with melted butter. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley for added flavor.
