Substitutions

Herbs. If you have a favorite herb go ahead and use it. This would be fabulous if you do a mix of dried herbs, such as,  thyme, rosemary, and sage.

Cheese. The parmesan cheese is optional but you can definitely substitute with any other cheese. Cheddar, or mozzarella would be great subs.

How to make ahead

These rolls can be prepared the same way. Instead of letting them rise on the counter for 4-5 hours, you can cover and refrigerate for 10-12 hours. Once they are double in size, then they are ready to be baked.

  1. Also a fan of Rhodes dinner rolls. I have always had a problem with the rolls in the center of the pan being doughy and the ones on edge getting overbaked. Last year, I put the rolls in muffin tins, and they were all evenly baked. Thanks for this version!
