Parmesan Popcorn

So i'm not going to post a picture because for one, I don't want to get up. And 2, it looks like popcorn. I'm sure you know what that looks like. So I'm a very buttery person and so I bought Pop-Secret's brand of popcorn-Extra Movie Theater Butter. Sadly, still didn't have enough flavor. So I thought I would spice it up and it tastes DELICIOUS!!

Bag of Popcorn
3 or 4 tablespoons melted butter
Parmesan

Instructions on this seems sad...but i'll include them. Pop popcorn, add butter then desired parmesan cheese. I used the grated stuff. It's yummy :)

30 mintute Rolls

1 C plus 2 Tbsp warm water
1/3 C vegetable oil
2 Tbsp dry yeast
1/4 C sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
3 1/2 C Flour (It suggests bread flour, but all I had was all purpose, which the site said was okay)

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

In your mixer bowl combine the water, oil, yeast and sugar and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.  Using your dough hook, mix in the salt, egg and flour.  Knead with hook until will incorporated and dough is soft and smooth. (Just a few minutes)
Form dough into 12 balls and then place in a greased 9 x 13 pan and allow to rest for 10 minutes.  Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees or until golden brown

So these rolls were a little heavier than I originally wanted, but my yeast was old and I was pressed for time. So I think if I try them again with fresh yeast and ample amounts of time, they will be much better. All in all though, I am so proud of myself for actually being able to do ANYTHING with yeast! I have never successfully made a recipe with yeast before!! WAHOO for me!
