How to make Garlic bread with Hawaiian Rolls

  • Enjoy the fusion of sweet Hawaiian rolls with the savory punch of garlic and cheese for a truly unforgettable side dish.

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your oven is hot enough to bake the rolls to perfection.

Prepare the rolls. Place your Hawaiian rolls in a baking dish. Carefully cut slits into each roll, aiming to go about halfway through.

This is where the magic happens—you’re going to stuff these slits with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Serve hot: After baking, take the rolls out of the oven and let them stand for 1-2 minutes.

This short wait is worth it, as it allows the cheese to set slightly, making the rolls easier to handle. Serve them hot for the ultimate cheesy, garlicky delight.

Q&A:

Can I use dried parsley instead of fresh? 

Yes, you can use dried parsley if fresh is not available. The general rule is one teaspoon of dried herbs for every one tablespoon of fresh herbs.

How do I store leftovers? 

Store any leftover garlic bread rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Recipe Notes:

  • For an extra kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top before baking to add a subtle heat that complements the garlic and cheese beautifully.
  • Serve these garlic bread rolls alongside a creamy pasta dish or a hearty soup recipe to soak up all the flavors.

  • If you have leftovers, reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to revive that freshly baked taste and texture.

Hawaiian Roll Cheesy Garlic Bread


Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Resting Time 2 minutes
Elevate your side dish game with our Hawaiian Roll Garlic Bread, a mouthwatering twist on traditional garlic bread. Featuring the irresistible combination of sweet Hawaiian rolls filled with gooey cheese and topped with a flavorful garlic butter mix, this recipe is baked to perfection for a warm, golden finish. Perfect for complementing a wide range of meals, it's a guaranteed hit at any table.

Ingredients
 

  • 6 Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Start by turning your oven on to 400°F (200°C). This gets your oven hot and ready for baking.
  • Prepare the Rolls: Take your Hawaiian rolls and put them in a baking dish. Make some cuts halfway through each roll, but be careful not to slice all the way through. Stuff these cuts with 1 cup of shredded Mozzarella cheese, spreading it out evenly across all the rolls.
  • Mix the Topping: Grab a small bowl and mix together 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese. This mixture is going to add a ton of flavor to your rolls.
  • Brush and Bake: Use a pastry brush to spread the butter mixture you just made over each roll. Make sure they're all nicely covered. Pop them in your preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes. You're looking for the rolls to turn golden and the cheese inside to melt.
  • Serve Hot: Once out of the oven, let the rolls sit for a minute or two. This little wait helps the cheese to settle, making the rolls easier to handle. Serve them up warm for a truly comforting and cheesy delight.

Notes

  1. Cheese Choices: Mix it up with different cheeses. Try a Mozzarella and Cheddar blend, or add Pepper Jack for a spicy twist.
  2. Garlic Boost: Love garlic? Add an extra half tablespoon to the butter. A pinch of Italian seasoning or herbs like oregano or basil can also enhance the flavor.
  3. Pan Size: An 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan works well, but feel free to use what you have.
  4. Dipping Sauce: Serve the rolls with marinara sauce for an extra flavor kick.
