Parmesan and Onion Dinner Rolls Recipe - bakedbyrachel.com

You’re not shocked to see more carbs, are you? I sure hope not. I hope you know me well enough by now to expect this kind of thing. I’ve had dinner rolls on the brain for the longest time. I knew I’d eventually cave and make some. But the kicker here is I knew they’d have little chance at making it to dinner. Even less of a chance since they’re made into cute little rolls and not a giant loaf. A loaf has a better chance at making it longer because if it isn’t cut, it’s not just a grab and go kind of thing like these.

I had to have one to try, testing purposes of course. I couldn’t share a recipe if it tasted awful. And it just so happened to be nap time for my youngest two when these were done, so my oldest got to snack on one as well. Two down. I’m pretty sure we shared another and then her little sister came downstairs. Another gone. You get the idea. De-freaking-licious.

My favorite part about rolls, not just these rolls but any roll is when it’s fresh out of the oven – slice down the center and shove a bunch of butter in there. Ugh. Just perfect. Hot buttered bread. It doesn’t get much better… except, it totally does because hello, these are topped off with cheese (and onions)!
