Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a 13 x 9-inch pan.
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water.
- Stir in the egg.
- Add the hot roll mix and mix until combined.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- In a small bowl, blend melted margarine with garlic salt, chopped onion, and thyme.
- Dip a sharp knife into the butter mixture, then cut the dough lengthwise and crosswise at 1-inch intervals to create squares.
- Brush the top of the dough with the remaining butter mixture.
- Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider using fresh garlic instead of garlic salt and adding grated Parmesan cheese to the butter mixture. If you don't have hot roll mix, you can make a simple dough using flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Additionally, letting the dough rise in a warm place will yield a fluffier roll. For a twist, try adding herbs like rosemary or oregano.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or a gluten-free blend. Just keep in mind that this may alter the texture slightly, making the rolls denser. Ensure you adjust the liquid as needed to achieve the right dough consistency.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped. You can also use a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out clean. If you prefer a softer top, cover them with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
Can I prepare the dough in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and place it in the greased pan, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, let it come to room temperature and rise before baking as directed. This saves time on busy days.
