2/3 plus 1/4 cup of grated parmesan-romano cheese, divided
1 tsp. dry parsley flakes
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp, dried basil/Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. onion powder
Instructions
Remove the frozen dinner rolls from the freezer and place onto a
plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to sit on
the counter for 45 minutes or so, until the rolls have thawed
enough to cut. Place the rolls onto a cutting board, and using a
sharp knife, cut each roll into quarters. Melt one stick of butter in
the microwave, yes, that's right kids, one whole stick! Don't worry,
we're sharing this bread.... stir the melted butter and seasonings
together until blended. Add the quartered rolls to the butter, and
toss gently to coat. Bread dough is sticky, so, you may need to
use your hands to gently pull them apart if necessary. You don't
want the dough to form clumps, or it will effect how it bakes. This
is really the only way to mess-up this recipe....very important!
Next, add 2/3 cup of grated parmesan-romano cheese reserving
the rest for the top. Toss until each piece is coated.
Layer the dough quarters evenly in a 9x3x2 inch loaf pan sprayed
with cooking spray. The dough pieces naturally stick together due
to the butter and cheese, but, gently pull apart any clumps of
dough. We want to be certain the bread bakes evenly. Sprinkle
the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese on top and a sprinkle of parsley
for color. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap that has been
sprayed with cooking spray. This will keep the bread from sticking
to the plastic wrap as it rises. Allow to rise in a draft free, warm
place for 2-2 1/2 hours. Then, remove the plastic wrap, and place
into a 350 degree preheated oven.
Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes, then check the top. If baking
in a loaf, you may need to lay a piece of aluminum foil over the top
of the bread to prevent the cheese and butter on top from over
browning. Continue to bake the bread for another 5-7 minutes,
until the center is completely done. Approximately, 23-25 minutes
total, depending on your oven. Test the center of the rolls using a
cake tester, or toothpick to be certain the bread is cooked all the
way through before removing it from the oven. My favorite way to
serve this bread? Straight from the pan piping hot!
