Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Dried parsley -- flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Chives, freeze-dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder

Note

Ensure the butter is cold but pliable so it doesn't leak out during baking. If the butter is too soft, chill it briefly before assembling.

To prevent the rolls from unraveling, you can secure them with toothpicks before baking. Remove toothpicks before serving.

For a crispier exterior, you can broil the rolls for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven to prevent drying out.
