Step-by-Step Instructions for Hawaiian Roll Garlic Bread
Step 1: Prepare the Rolls
Place the 12 Hawaiian slider rolls into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Using a sharp knife, cut 2 slits into each roll. The best way to do this is to cut 6 long slits across the entire package of rolls. Cut about 1/3 into the top of each roll, making sure not to cut all the way through.
Step 2: Add the Cheese
Stuff each of the slits with shredded mozzarella cheese. This will ensure every bite is filled with gooey, melted cheese.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, melt the 1/2 cup of butter. Mix in the remaining ingredients: 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is well combined.
Step 4: Spread the Garlic Butter
Using a pastry brush, spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of the rolls. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies so the flavor is evenly distributed.
Step 5: Bake
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are just beginning to brown on top.
Step 6: Serve
Once baked, remove the garlic bread from the oven. Serve warm and enjoy!
