This recipe takes some time but it is so worth it!

1 pkg. yeast
1 t. sugar
1 c. warm water
3 c. flour
1 t. salt
3/4 t. dried thyme
2 T. veg. oil
1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 T. melted butter
1/4 c. chopped parsley

Sprinkle yeast and sugar over warm water in a small bowl; stir. Let stand 5 minutes. Combine flour and salt in electric mixer. While running, add yeast mixture and oil. Process until a soft dough forms. Place in a large greased bowl; turn to coat. Cover with a towel. Let rise until doubled. Punch down. Knead in cheese on a floured surface. Cover with towel and let rest for 10 minutes. Grease a 1-1/2 quart dish and set aside. Combine butter, parsley, and thyme. Roll out dough to 8x6 rectangle. Cut into 48 squares. Roll into balls. Dip into butter mixture and place into pan, snuggling them together. Cover with towel again and let rise until double. Bake 35-40 minutes at 375 degrees. Immediately remove from pan. Serve hot.

Absolutely delicious with soup.
