It’s a fun family activity and a guaranteed way to get everyone excited for dinner (or a post-dinner treat!).

The best part? You can easily adapt this recipe to your preferences. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and cheeses. A sprinkle of fresh rosemary or a blend of Italian cheeses could add another dimension of flavor. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, try adding some sun-dried tomatoes or jalapeños for a spicy kick. The possibilities are endless!

Step-by-step

• Remove the frozen dinner rolls from the freezer and place onto a plate.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to sit on the counter for 30-45 minutes, until thawed enough to cut.
• Place the rolls onto a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, cut each roll into quarters.
• Melt one stick of butter in the microwave.
• Stir the melted butter and seasonings together until blended.
• Add the quartered rolls to the butter and toss gently to coat.
• Add ⅔ cup of grated Parmesan-Romano cheese (reserve the rest for the top). Toss until each piece is coated.
• Layer the dough quarters evenly in a 9x4x3-inch loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of cheese on top and a sprinkle of parsley.
• Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray.
• Let rise in a warm place for 2-2½ hours.
• Remove the plastic wrap and bake in a 350°F preheated oven.
• Bake at 350°F for 18 minutes, then check the top. If baking in a loaf, cover with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
• Continue baking for another 5-7 minutes, until the center is cooked through (about 23-25 minutes total).
• Test the center with a cake tester or toothpick.
• Serve straight from the pan piping hot.
