Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Mix melted butter with minced garlic, Parmesan, parsley, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
- 2
Divide the dough into 16-18 small pieces and roll each into a ball.
- 3
Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, coating all sides, and arrange them snugly in a greased 6-inch round pan.
- 4
Pour any remaining garlic butter over the top, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- 5
Cook at 330°F for 18-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center rolls are cooked through.
- 6
Brush immediately with the extra melted butter and top with remaining parsley and Parmesan before serving warm.
Tip: Pack the dough balls snugly but not too tightly — they need just enough room to expand and create those signature pull-apart seams.
