Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 Rhodes Frozen Dinner Rolls
  • 6 to 8 Tablespoons Salted Butter melted
  • 3 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian Parsley optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional
  • 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter: Begin by melting the salted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the minced garlic to the butter and dried parsley if using and mix.
  2. Dip the Rolls: Take each frozen dinner roll and dip it into the garlic butter, ensuring it’s fully coated. The butter not only adds flavor but also helps create a golden, crispy crust.
  3. Arrange in a Circular Pattern: Spray the chosen pan pizza stone cast iron skillet baking sheet etc with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the dipped rolls in a circular pattern on your chosen pan making two rows. Place them close enough that when they rise they will rise vertical. This layout ensures even baking and makes the monkey bread easy to pull apart when it’s time to serve.
  4. Let the Rolls Rise: Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place until they have doubled in size. This usually takes about 2-3 hours depending on the temperature of your kitchen. This takes about 90 minutes in a hot location.
  5. Add the Cheese: Once the rolls have risen preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the rolls making sure each one is covered in cheesy goodness. For a touch of spice sprinkle with pepper flakes.
  6. Bake Until Bubbly: Bake the monkey bread for 18-24 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
  7. Serve with Marinara Sauce. Serve the garlic pull apart bread warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
