Make this easy, cheesy pull-apart garlic bread using Hawaiian sweet rolls. It transforms simple rolls into a buttery, savory, and slightly sweet side dish or appetizer in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Keep the Hawaiian rolls connected in their original packaging or baking tray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the garlic butter.
  3. Using a sharp knife, cut the entire block of rolls horizontally, cutting through the middle of the rolls, but keep the bottom half intact in the tray. Do not cut all the way through the bottom layer.
  4. Pour or brush half of the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut tops of the rolls.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the buttered tops.
  6. Pour or brush the remaining garlic butter mixture over the cheese layer.
  7. Cover the tray loosely with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let it cool for a few minutes before pulling the rolls apart to serve.

Notes

  • For maximum flavor infusion, use the poking trick: After cutting the rolls horizontally, use a toothpick to poke holes down into the cuts before adding the butter mixture.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, increase the minced garlic to 5 or 6 cloves.
  • This recipe works well as a quick appetizer idea for parties or a comfort food dinner side.
