2 tsp. garam masala

2 tsp. dried fenugreek leaves

1 tsp. crushed red pepper

3/4 tsp. cumin seed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

3 eggs

Make It

MICROWAVE milk in small microwaveable bowl on MEDIUM 45 sec. or until milk is warmed. Stir in honey and yeast. Place in warm place; let stand 15 min. or until doubled in volume.

MEANWHILE, combine flour, salt and 1-3/4 cups cheese in large bowl. Mix seasonings. Reserve 1 tsp. seasoning mixture; mix remaining with flour mixture until well blended. Add yeast mixture, butter and 2 eggs; knead gently 5 min. or until mixture forms soft dough. (Dough will be sticky.) Cover with damp towel. Place in warm place; let rise 1 hour or until doubled in volume.

DIVIDE dough into 12 pieces; roll each into smooth ball. Place, 2 inches apart, on parchment-covered baking sheet; cover loosely with damp towel. Let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size.

HEAT oven to 375ºF. Beat remaining egg; brush onto dough. Sprinkle with remaining seasoning mixture, remaining cheese and sesame seed. Bake 25 min. or until golden brown.
