Tablespoon Butter; plus  
Teaspoon Butter  
Envelopes Active dry yeast −; (1/4 Ounce ea)  
Egg; beaten  
Tablespoon Sugar  
Teaspoon Salt  
/8 Teaspoon Freshly−ground black pepper  
3/4 Cup Flour  
Tablespoon Kosher salt  
Tablespoon Grated Parmesan cheese  
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the water and spinach in a saucepan.  
Wilt the spinach, pressing down the spinach with the back of a spoon, about  
4
5 seconds. Drain the spinach, squeezing out the spinach tightly and reserve  
the liquid. Pour the liquid into a mixing bowl with 4 tablespoons of the  
butter. The butter will melt and cool the liquid to 110 degrees. Stir in the  
yeast and dissolve the yeast. Add the beaten egg, sugar, salt, and black  
pepper. Finely chop the spinach and add to the yeast mixture. Add the flour  
and mix well with a wooden spoon until the dough comes away from the sides  
of the bowl. Using your hands, form the dough into a ball. Lightly oil a  
bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn the dough once. Cover the dough  
with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft−free place until the dough  
doubles in size, about 1 hour. Butter 6 over−sized muffin tins. Invert the  
dough onto a floured surface and punch it down with your fist. Fold each  
side in and tuck the ends into the center. Repeat. Put the dough, seam side  
down and divide the dough into six equal portions. Using your hand, gently  
roll the dough into a ball. Place the balls in the prepared pan. Sprinkle  
the rolls with kosher salt and cheese. Cover and let rise in a warm,  
draft−free place until in doubles in size, about 1 hour. Bake the rolls for  
about 30 minutes, or until golden−brown. Remove from the oven and place on a  
wire rack to cool before removing from the pan. This recipe yields 6  
oversized muffin rolls.
