Gather your ingredients:

• 1 cup warm milk (100-110°F) - Not too hot, think warm bath temperature.
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 whole eggs (room temperature)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 ½ tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons Naagin sauce (your favorite brand/flavor)
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon each, minced fresh rosemary & thyme
• 1 packet (about 2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
• 4 cups all-purpose flour (with a little extra on hand if needed)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Let's get baking:

1. Combine the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, olive oil, eggs, sugar, salt, Naagin sauce, garlic powder, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and yeast. Stir well until a shaggy dough forms.

2. Knead for a smooth dough: Now comes the fun part! If you have a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and knead on medium-low speed. Gradually add the flour, about ½ cup at a time, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty and knead by hand if you prefer. Be mindful of adding too much flour – a slight stickiness is okay.

3. First rise – time for magic: Lightly oil a clean bowl and place your dough ball inside. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap to prevent drying. Find a warm spot for your dough to rise for about an hour, or until it doubles in size. Patience is key here – let the magic happen!

4. Shaping the rolls: Once the dough has risen beautifully, gently deflate it (push out the air). Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a tight ball and arrange them in a greased 13×9-inch baking pan. Leave some space between the rolls as they'll puff up again during the second rise.

5. Second rise – for bigger and better rolls: Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap again and let the rolls rise for another glorious hour, or until doubled in size. You want them nice and plump before hitting the oven.

6. Preheat and prepare the glaze: While the rolls are taking their second nap, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, whisk an egg – this will be your golden glaze.

7. Baking time! Once the oven is good and hot, brush the risen rolls with the egg wash. Don't forget to sprinkle them generously with the grated Parmesan cheese for that delightful cheesy crust. Pop the pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

8. Serve warm and enjoy! Take the rolls out of the oven and let them cool slightly before digging in. These Naagin Cheese Rolls are best served warm, so grab your favorite people and enjoy this delicious twist on classic dinner rolls!
