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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
