Cheese Dinner Rolls

Cheese Dinner Rolls

Choosing the right name was tricky, as this recipe blends the characteristics of both bread and cheese rolls, enriched with the aroma of herbs. The assembly and presentation are simple and appealing, allowing you to pull apart each roll effortlessly rather than slicing.

These rolls pair wonderfully with soup or on their own, possibly alongside a salad. They are soft, tender, and infused with the flavor of melted cheese.

Bake in a preheated oven at 150-180 C degrees for 35-40 minutes. If browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil, but always leave in the oven.

Once done, cover with a kitchen towel and allow to sit for 10 minutes.

Ensure not to leave the rolls in the pan for over 10 minutes as they may become too steamed. 

Transfer to a plate to cool. 

They are delicious both warm and cold, best enjoyed by breaking apart each roll.
