Ingredients

2 1/23 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast

2/3 cup warm whole milk

1 tablespoon honey

2 eggs, plus 1 beaten egg for brushing

1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, at room temperature

12 cloves garlic, smashed

1216 fresh sage leaves

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, yeast, Parmesan, and salt. Add warm milk, honey, 2 eggs, and 2 tablespoons butter. Mix with dough hook until dough is smooth, 4–5 minutes. Add more flour if sticky. Cover and let rise at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, make sage butter: in a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter with garlic and sage until butter browns and sage is crisp (about 3–4 minutes). Cool slightly, then mash garlic and chop sage. Mix with remaining 4 tablespoons softened butter.
  3. Preheat oven to 450°F. Butter a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  4. When dough has risen, turn onto floured surface, punch down, and roll into 12×18 inch rectangle. Spread sage butter evenly over dough. Roll into a log from the long edge.
  5. Cut into 8 rolls, pinch edges to seal, and place in the loaf pan. Cover and let rise for 15–20 minutes.
  6. Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake 20 minutes at 450°F until browned, then reduce oven to 350°F and bake 25–30 minutes more.
  7. Serve warm with extra sage butter if desired.

Notes

  • To use active dry yeast, proof with warm milk and honey before adding to dry ingredients.
  • To make ahead: prepare through step 5 and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temp before baking.
  • To freeze dough: freeze in loaf pan before rising, thaw 2–3 hours before baking.
  • To freeze baked bread: cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 3 months.
  • Leftovers are best warmed or toasted lightly.
