Instructions
- Thaw and soften the dough.
- Blend melted butter, beaten egg, garlic powder, parsley flakes, and salt to make the butter mixture.
- Cut off pieces of dough about the size of small walnuts.
- Dip each dough piece into the butter mixture.
- Place the dipped dough pieces into greased pans until all dough is used.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder. If you don't have frozen bread, you can use thawed dough from homemade bread. If you're short on time, you can substitute the dough with crescent roll dough for a quicker version. Make sure to let the rolls rise in a warm place to ensure they double in size effectively.
Serving Suggestions
Garlic rolls are perfect as a side for hearty dishes like Garlic Potato Casserole or paired with soups and salads. They can also be served warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. For a delightful twist, try serving them with a sprinkle of cheese on top before baking.
