Ingredients

7½ cup All purpose flour
1 tablespoon Sugar
2 teaspoons Salt
1 pack Active dry yeast
2½ cup Warm water; (120-130)
1 cup Chopped fresh basil
¼ cup Finely chopped walnuts
¼ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Melted butter or margarine

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine 6 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Add water; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and refrigerate overinight. Punch dough down; knead several times. Cover and let rise for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine basil, walnuts and cheese; reserve 2 tablespoons for topping. Shape dough into 32 balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball in a 4 inch circle; place about 1½ teaspoons of the basil mixture in the center of each. Pinch dough together over filling. Place 16 rolls each, seam side down, on two greased baking sheets with rolls touching. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Brush tops with butter; sprinkle with reserved basil mixture. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Yield 32 rolls.
