Fresh bread has become a regular occurrence at our house, thanks to Rhodes Bread. Rolls for Sunday dinner, dough for pizza, naan, breadsticks, you name it. We are obsessed with Rhodes’ frozen dough!

Obviously I wanted to use that same frozen dough to make some pull apart garlic parmesan rolls, because why go to the hassle of making dough from scratch when you can just pull it from your freezer?

When I worked in a bakery, we made the most amazing, and super popular butterflake rolls, but they are quite the process to make. I’ve shared them on my blog here. So many folds and layers of butter! Don’t get me wrong, they’re definitely worth the work put into them, but this is a quick and easy way to get similar buttery pull-apart results using Rhodes frozen dough and some scissors.

For these garlic parmesan rolls, you can use two Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls pressed into one ball, or one Rhodes Texas Roll. Thaw the dough until it’s soft enough to work with. Then make 5 deep cuts into each roll with scissors, cutting nearly to the bottom.

Combine melted butter, garlic powder, salt, parsley, and parmesan cheese in a bowl. Immediately brush the butter mixture between the layers and place the roll in a greased muffin tin. (*TIP: Do one roll at a time so the dough doesn’t try and stick back together.) Save 1/3 of the butter mixture to brush the rolls once they come out of the oven.

Cover the rolls with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise 30-60 minutes, until about double in size. Mine rose quite a bit once they hit the oven. So even if the dough is just mounding outside of the muffin cup, you should be okay, especially if you used two dinner rolls. Bake the rolls until golden brown, then brush with more of the butter mixture. Voila! Ready to eat!
