Rosemary Garlic Butter Rolls

Who doesn’t like Cinnamon rolls?! Everyone loves it,right? Well, some people don’t and my hubby is one of them! He could only eat once or twice a year, that’s it. He can’t stand the aroma of cinnamon. I still make it and make him eat a roll or two. He would eat it but I could literally ‘read’ how unpleasant experience he goes through every time he bites into the roll! It’s written all over his face. So this time around, I decided to make a different roll for us. I was sure he would definitely love this one. And he did, indeed.

The idea is the same. Instead of sweet and cinammoney, this roll is savory and garlicky. The herbs and Parmesan cheese add that extra punch to the rolls. After having made this roll the first time, I knew I’ve found a keeper recipe. And I also knew that I will be making more of these rolls and less of those rolls!

These rolls are good with pasta or as a snack on its own. They are so flaky, buttery and yet, delightful. Give it a try sometime. You will be amazingly pleased with something so common like garlic rolls and yet, so new.
