Garlic Rolls

Janie and Fran, this is for you.  Janie is a good friend from our Springfield days and makes the most beautiful kids you have ever seen.  She is from our really crazy days of "Lunch with the Doc".  I look forward to seeing you again...(thinking about moving back to OHIO) 

Miss Fran (Puddles....I have to ponder that one)This is my little buddie, one you can always depend on.  

As for this recipe, Jodi, Betty and I have been known to purposely hide some of the rolls before dinner and scarf them up for breakfast.  Nothing like fresh garlic in the morning.  Talk about morning breath, sure fire way not to be bothered for the rest of the day, not even by the dog!

Garlic Rolls

1 Package of Parkerhouse dough for rolls

1/4 cup of Olive Oil

Garlic Salt with parsley

Parmesan Cheese (optional)

1 stick of butter

These little rolls are already prepared dough.  You can make your own and I can provide the recipe but I usually do not have the time to stand and play with the dough.

Let them thaw, cut rolls in half.   With a little flour on your hands, rub the dough between your hands and form a cigar shape.  Tie in a knot.   Set them on a cookie sheet for baking and rising. Make as many as you like, I usually make 4 -5 Dozen at a time.  Set aside and let them rise in a warm spot until doubled in size.

Bake at 350 degrees, about 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

In a large bowl, add olive oil and 1 stick of butter. (don't use that margarine stuff, use BUTTER)'

melt together in the microwave.  Add the baked rolls, and stir until coated with the mixture.  Sprinkle the garlic salt as you stir.  After doing this two or three times, lightly sprinkle the rolls again with garlic and parmesan cheese.  

These will produce fights, huge fights at the table, and stealing of bowls, licking fingers etc.  They are that good!
