Ingredients
Scale
For the Rolls
- 1 (11-oz) can refrigerated French bread dough
For the Garlic Butter
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 tsp garlic bread seasoning
- 1 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Topping
- â…“ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) to get it ready for baking the rolls perfectly golden and fluffy.
- Prepare Muffin Pan: Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent the rolls from sticking and to ensure easy removal after baking.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic bread seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese. Mix well until creamy and evenly blended.
- Prepare Dough Strips: Unroll the refrigerated French bread dough on a clean surface and cut it evenly into 12 strips.
- Apply Garlic Butter and Roll: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over each dough strip. Then, roll up each strip tightly and place each roll into the prepared muffin pan cups.
- Add Topping: Generously sprinkle shredded or grated parmesan cheese over the top of each rolled bread stick for extra cheesy flavor and a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute garlic bread seasoning with a mix of garlic powder, dried parsley, and Italian seasoning if unavailable.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
- These rolls can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
