3 Ingredient Easy Parmesan Rolls Recipe (1)

Dinner rolls were a staple at our house growing up. We served them with soup, roast, casseroles, you name it and we had rolls with it!

My mom always used Rhode’s Frozen Dinner Rolls growing up and they were perfectly light and fluffy every time.

The Best Dinner Rolls

I love the taste and smell of homemade rolls baking in the oven, like our Easy Homemade Rolls or 30-Minute Dinner Rolls.

Sometimes you just don’t have the time or desire to make rolls from scratch, so these 3-Ingredient Easy Parmesan Rolls are the perfect solution!

I used these Rhodes Bake-N-Serv® Dinner Rolls for this recipe, but you could easily switch it out for homemade dough or even biscuit dough.

How to make Easy Parmesan Rolls:

Although these rolls are so easy to make, you do need to plan ahead so your rolls have time to rise!

3 Ingredient Easy Parmesan Rolls Recipe (2)

Start by dipping frozen dinner rolls in melted butter. Completely submerge rolls in butter.

If you aren’t using frozen rolls for this recipe, that’s ok because you could easily dip roll dough into the melted butter at this point.

Roll buttered rolls in grated parmesan cheese until each roll is completely coated.

Place in a 9×13-inch baking pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 3-5 hours.

Be sure to not let the rolls rise too big or they will flatten out when they are baked. A good rule of thumb is for the rolls to double in size.

Tip: Spray the inside of the plastic wrap with nonstick cooking spray so the rolls won’t stick to it after they’ve risen.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

These rolls are always a hit! We know you will love them just as much as we do!

You can serve these easy rolls with soup like ourSlow Cooker Beef Stew, Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup or Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Tomato Soup.

My kids think these 3-Ingredient Easy Parmesan Rolls taste like breadsticks, so we also serve them with Italian dishes like our Slow Cooker Bolognese, Spinach Lasagna Rollsor Baked Chicken Parmesan Casserole.

    Easy Peasy!!!!
    Looking forward to trying this out!

  2. Unknown says:

    Could you use bread and cut them into smaller pieces?

  3. Six Sisters says:

    I think using bread dough cut into smaller pieces would work just fine!

  4. Karen says:

    I have made these using the Rhodes bread loaves. Just cut off the rounded ends, then slice the loaf in 8 equal slices. Dip in butter, then sprinkle with the parmesan and let rise. I think they're just a bit bigger than using the roll dough.

  5. June Gale says:

    I like your site very much. In your recipe Fall Off The Bone BBQ Ribs you mentioned liners for your slow cooker. I used to be able to get them but not anymore. What company puts them out? I live in Canada -Sydney ,Nova Scotia. Thank you .

  6. Cyd says:

    Reynolds makes them. Go to reynoldskitchens.com

  7. Rachel N says:

    Hi! Do you actual grated Parmesan or the kind in a shaker ? Thx!

  8. Momma Cyd says:

    Kraft grated Parmesan cheese is the one in the shaker bottle. That is what we used for this recipe. Hope this helps.

FAQs

Why are my homemade rolls tough? ›

Too much flour, or not the right kind, could be to blame. Dough made only from flour with a high or even average amount of protein (like bread flour or all-purpose flour) can become tough from overmixing. Protein gives bread structure in the form of gluten—the more you mix and move the dough, the more gluten you get.

How do you fix tough dough? ›

3- Use dough softeners
  1. The Mix Quick Fimo: mix at most 2 / 3 of Fimo paste with 1 / 3 of Mix Quick. ...
  2. Sculpey Dough Softener: add a few drops to soften the dough and knead until you get the desired texture.
  3. Cernit's Magic Mix: mix it little by little with the dough until you have the desired consistency.

What kind of pan is best for baking rolls? ›

If you don't have a large 11 inch cast iron pan, you can use a glass baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. A 9×13 size would work well. It's best to have the rolls all touching each other when you arrange them in the pan, and I'll tell you why…

Why are my homemade dinner rolls dry? ›

Either, you added too much flour or you possibly used all bread flour. Alternately, not giving your dinner rolls enough time to proof and get puffy before baking could yield dense rolls.

Why did my rolls come out chewy? ›

The flour you used may have contained too much protein. Protein is one of the ingredients that help yeast bread brown. Use bread flour that is purchased at a grocery store or a national brand of all-purpose flour.

How do you keep homemade rolls soft? ›

Brush the rolls with butter.

Melt the butter and brush it over the risen dinner rolls. This helps the tops to brown and keeps the crust soft.

Why are my bread rolls not soft? ›

You're probably not developing the gluten enough. Could also be too low hydration, or maybe under-proofed.

Why is my bread dough always tough? ›

The overworked dough will often feel tight and tough. This means that liquid molecules have been damaged and won't stretch properly, causing the bread to break and tear more easily. Conversely, a dough that is underworked will be harder to form into a ball shape.
