A few days ago, I shared with you the skillet dinner rolls recipe, using a homemade 60 minutes bread dough recipe that my baking assistant Kendoll swears by.

Easy and healthy bread rolls with garlic and Parmesan cheese on a baking sheet.

Today, I am sharing with you this garlic Parmesan dinner rolls recipe that is even better. They’re sinfully good!

These dinner rolls use the same bread dough, with garlic-herb butter and Parmesan cheese. I personally love these rolls more as they are so dainty and pretty, tied into beautiful knots and baked to golden brown glory. Every bite is bursting with the garlicky and buttery flavors, with the cheesy nuance. I had so many of these when they were out of the oven, I didn’t even need butter, they were just amazing.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Yes you can.

  3. Sofia says:

    Hi! Iโ€™m making hem right now. But 24 rolls is a lot for my family. Can I freeze them once out of the oven ? Do they freeze well? If not, how do you store the leftovers? Thank you!

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Hi Sofia, yes, you can keep them in the refrigerator. I don’t recommend freezing. Just heat up in a toaster oven or microwave before serving again.

  7. Diane says:

    Made these this morning and at 350 degrees they were not cooked. I had to up the heat at 375 which did the trick. Could there be an error in your oven temperature?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Temperature is right. If it’s not cooked, bake it a bit longer. They will be fine. Also, did you make them into 24 rolls? These rolls are very small in size.

        Tried them, fluffy soft, very tasty. My 4 year old who is such a fussy eater loved them, so did my husband. They were a bit too sweet for dinner rolls. Will try next time with half the sugar and 1/4 more salt. But that is just my liking. Rest of the family loved them.

        1. Rasa Malaysia says:

          Awesome!
