Servings dinner rolls
Equipment
Ingredients
- 20 frozen dinner roll dough balls such as Rhode's, or homemade roll dough (see notes)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water or milk
- 1 bunch parsley or other flat-leaf herb like sage, dill or cilantro
Instructions
- Follow the directions on your roll package to thaw your roll dough. You should be able to fit about 20 Rhode's rolls in a 9x13 pan. You want your rolls to be at the stage where they’re ready to bake.
- Wash and dry parsley, then pick off good little leaf segments.
- Beat the egg and the water or milk until smooth. Use a silicone brush and just use your egg wash as glue and "paint on" the herbs.
- 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. Work a couple rolls at a time and brush them with a quick egg wash. Dip your leaf segments in the egg mixture and place them on top of the roll. Then use your brush to paint over the top once, making sure they stayed put.
- Bake rolls as directed on package and serve.
Notes
- Just a tip: 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.
- Want to make these with homemade dough? Not a problem! When your dough is at the stage where it's ready to bake, simply follow the directions to egg wash your rolls and and your herbs, then bake as usual.
- Finished rolls can be stored at room temperature.
- Homemade rolls are best baked the same day you want to serve them. If making early in the day, be sure to let them cool completely before covering.
