Ingredients

4-5 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 packages yeast (4 1/2 teaspoons)
1 cup milk
1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder


Directions

Mix 1 1/2 cup flour, sugar, salt, basil, oregano, thyme, garlic and yeast in bowl. Combine milk, water and butter in pan. (Butter doesn't need to be melted.) Heat over low heat until warm. Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour and knead into soft dough. Cover and let rise until double, about 45 minutes.

Knead dough and form into rolls. Place in greased 14-inch Dutch oven. Let rise 30 minutes. Cook 10 coals on bottom and 17 on top for 40-50 minutes, rotating oven and lid every 10 minutes. When rolls are almost finished, cover the top of oven with coals to brown top. Recipe from Randy Macari, of Roy, and Corey Phillips, of Pleasant View, winners of the Davis County Fair's Dutch Oven Cook-off.
