Garlic Pull Apart Rolls #BreadBakers

Welcome back to Bread Bakers everyone.  This months theme of Garlic was chosen by Karen of Karen's Kitchen Stories in honor of National Garlic Day that is celebrated one week from today. These posts are sure to give you tons of inspiration so you can join the celebration of Garlic on April 19th.

I am a garlic fanatic.  I don't believe there is such a thing as too much garlic.  When I go to a Lebanese restaurant I could make a meal of toum and freshly baked bread. Last year, to celebrate National Garlic Day I made my own.  Needless to say, I was very excited when Karen chose this theme.

I have decided to share with you a recipe for Garlic Pull Apart Rolls that I originally found on Melissa's Southern Style Kitchen. Melissa's recipe calls for store bought frozen white dinner rolls. The last time I made dinner rolls, I made one pan to have and then I formed the rest of the dough into balls and placed them in the freezer, so this recipe caught my attention right away.

My dinner roll recipe is very easy and I have linked you to the post where you can find the recipe.  If you choose to make the dough fresh just allow it to have the first rise, punch it down, form it into balls and proceed with the directions below.  I made a lot of other adaptations to Melissa's recipe but the gist of it is the same.  I used an Italian 5 cheese blend instead of parmesan/romano mix.  I used slightly dried Gourmet Garden herbs for all listed. I omitted onion powder and added some lightly dried crushed pepper flakes. Most importantly, I used fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder.

Melt the butter and add your herbs, garlic and seasonings.

Cut the thawed or fresh balls of dough into quarters.

Toss in the butter, place into a sprayed baking pan.

Add cheese and toss again.

Cover with a damp towel and place in a warm spot to rise for 2-3 hrs.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
