Note

The original recipe mentions using Bisquick buttermilk baking mix as a substitute for the proprietary product.

For the garlic butter, use garlic powder rather than salt to avoid overpowering the cheese flavor. Add dehydrated parsley flakes for color and freshness.

Commercial convection ovens cook about 25 percent faster than home ovens. Adjust time accordingly to prevent over-browning.

Variation: Increase cheddar to 8 oz for a richer flavor, or substitute 5 oz of freshly shredded Parmesan cheese (not dried) for a sharper taste.

Breakfast Variation: Add 4-5 slices of crisp cooked bacon to the dough and brush with regular margarine instead of garlic butter.

Do not add too much butter to the rolls, or the garlic flavor will overpower the cheese.
