You want your rolls to be at the stage where they're ready to bake. So if you're making dough, prepare it through the second rise. If you're using frozen dough, just follow the package directions, etc. When your rolls are shaped, risen, and ready to bake, then go ahead with the herby fun.
Herby fun-
Wash and dry parsley. Then pick off good little leaf segments. I liked that all of mine were a little different. It made each roll a little unique.
Beat the egg and the water or milk until smooth. Use a brush (I always use a silicone brush like this, love them!) and just use your egg wash as glue and paint on the herbs. Don't you love mixing art and food?!
You'll want to make sure you give the entire top of the roll a coating of egg wash, or you'll end up with spots and streaks after they bake and the wash shows up. I found it easiest to work a couple rolls at a time and brush them with a quick egg wash. Then I took my leaf segments and dipped them in the egg mixture and then placed them on top of the roll. Then I used my brush to just paint over the top once, making sure they stayed put.
It's so simple and literally took less than 5 minutes. Just a hint, if you're using more than one leaf, as in they're not connected by a stem or anything, place them really close together on the roll since they'll spread out a little while baking. Then just bake as directed. How cute are these?
