Parmesan and Onion Dinner Rolls
Share
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)!Â
Parmesan and Onion Dinner Rolls
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 C all purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 1/4 tsp rapid rise yeast
- 1/2 C milk heated to 115°F

Notes
Shoot, I could eat them just dipped in some marinara sauce as a meal! :D These look fantastic Rachel!
Oh I think rolls like this need to be eaten until they are gone. I would have zero self control!
These look amazing! My family goes crazy for bread so they would love these!
I agree that it doesn’t get better than warm, buttery bread! Dinner rolls are at the top of my favorites list, and with that gorgeous parm on top… sign me up!!
Onions *and* cheese?! This is my kind of bread! I wish you lived just a smidge closer so I could help you eat all the fabulous carbs you bake!
Yay I have been waiting patiently for you to posts these carbalicious treats. I love bread and I just know that these are going to be made soon.
These are gorgeous, Rachel. I can only imagine how amazing they taste!
I can’t quit hot buttered bread. NOM
You had me at parmesan… and onion… and bread… and buttered. Ok you get the idea! I love these!
Ummm yeah, there’s nothing better than cheesy bread! These look amazing!
mama. I agree about the fresh out of the oven. It’s like a magnet you can’t stay away!
These are GORGEOUS.
These sound SO stinking good!!!! I am in love with cheesy bread!
yum- perfect!!
I’m a lover of warm bread and rolls slathered with butter too. I’d make short work of your onion and Parmesan ones!
mmmm i can just taste these already. they look so puffy and warm. i can just picture myself smothering tons of butter in the middle of them and eating way more than i should ;)
I really love these, like really!
These are exactly what I need to go along with my carrot soup tonight!
You are right warm fresh bread with a little butter is the best. Can’t wait to try these rolls!
I make yeast breads a LOT here and I know I will be making these really soon… like maybe tonight :-D
Oh, wow – these are killer rolls. I am all about fresh bread lately, and I need to make these!
Oh these look WONDERFUL!
These sound so delicious!! Can’t wait to try them!
yeah i would eat them all. loaf or rolls… all mine!
I made these a few days ago and WOW were they a huge hit! the rolls are so soft and tender with a slight crunchy top from the parmesan and onions. You can totally switch the toppings up aswell. I think next time I will add in some pizza seasonings with the cheese :)
I am an American living in The Netherlands and I don’t think they sell rapid rise yeast over here. So I just used active dry and didn’t have any problems. Total keeper of a recipe. Thank you!!
So glad to hear you enjoyed them! And that’s great to hear they worked out with the changes you needed to make.
