Cheese Herb Rolls

This is my favorite fresh bread.  The original recipe is from AllRecipes.com, but I've made adjustments on my version below to make it into rolls instead of a loaf of bread.

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F / 45 degrees C)
3 cups bread flour
2 tbs dry milk powder
2 tbs white sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs butter, softened
3 tbs grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tsp dried marjoram
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbs active dry yeast

Directions

1. Put ingredients in bread machine in order dictated by machine (for mine this means wet ingredients, with dry on top of that, with dry yeast in a little concave on top of that).  Set to "dough."  [If you aren't using a bread machine, put yeast, warm water, and sugar together to "bloom" for about 10 minutes.  Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl.  Then mix these wet ingredients with the remaining ingredients and knead for about 5 minutes.  Cover and leave dough in a warm place to rise for about 45 minutes.] 

2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Punch down dough and knead a few more times, roll dough into 8-12 balls, put them on a baking sheet, cover them, and let them rise another 30-45 minutes, until doubled (or close to it).

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Bake rolls in oven for 15-20 minutes, until just starting to turn golden brown.  Make sure to eat at least one while they're still hot (they're amazingly good hot with butter melting on them).  Serve with butter.
