  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Bread and Butter Mixture

  • 1 12-pack King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls
  • 4 tbsp Salted Butter (melted)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (grated)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Fresh Parsley (finely minced)
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
  • 1/3 cup Olive Oil

Dip

  • 1 recipe Parmesan Cream Sauce (or fresh Alfredo sauce as a shortcut)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Parmesan Cream Sauce: Begin by making the parmesan cream sauce from the referenced recipe or use fresh Alfredo sauce for a quicker option.
  2. Prepare the Rolls: Pull apart the King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls and gently cut off the edges to expose their fluffy interior, making them ready to absorb the garlic butter.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted salted butter, grated garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, fresh parsley, and kosher salt. Whisk in the olive oil thoroughly to emulsify the mixture.
  4. Coat the Rolls: Dip each roll into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring all sides are well coated. Work in two batches for easier handling and thorough coverage.
  5. Cook the Rolls: Place half of the coated rolls in a large preheated cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook each side for a few minutes until the rolls are golden brown and crispy. Turn as needed to achieve an even crust.
  6. Repeat Cooking: Remove the first batch from the skillet and repeat the cooking process with the remaining rolls to get the same crispy, golden finish.
  7. Serve: Once all rolls are toasted and golden, remove them from heat and serve immediately alongside the prepared parmesan cream sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Using a cast iron skillet ensures an even, golden crust on the rolls.
  • For a shortcut, fresh store-bought Alfredo sauce can replace homemade Parmesan cream sauce.
  • Handle the rolls gently to keep their fluffy texture intact while cutting off edges.
  • Work in batches when coating and cooking to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the rolls at their crispiest and freshest.
