Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. Shape the rolls and place them on a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking to ensure they rise properly.
What can I substitute for scallions?
If you don't have scallions, you can use finely chopped onions or shallots for a similar flavor. Fresh chives are also a great alternative that complements the garlic and herbs beautifully.
