Ingredients:
3/4
cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, divided

1/2
teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

1
pound frozen bread dough, thawed



Preparation:
1.
Knead 3/4 cup cheese and pepper into dough, adding cheese 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, until evenly mixed throughout. Divide dough equally into 12 pieces; shape into balls. Cover with plastic wrap; let rest 10 minutes.

Coat 12 standard (2-1/2-inch) muffin cups and your hands with nonstick cooking spray. Divide each ball of dough into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into small ball. Place 3 balls in each muffin cup. Cover rolls loosely with plastic wrap; let stand in warm place about 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk.

Variation: Grated Parmesan can be used in place of the shredded cheese.
