Instructions
Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and dried herbs. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead and Rise
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Shape and Bake
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them in a greased baking dish.
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
Storing and Reheating
Once you've made a batch of Soft and Savory Breakfast Rolls, you may wonder how best to store them. To keep them fresh, place the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing them. Just ensure they are completely cooled, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing them in the freezer.
When you're ready to enjoy your rolls again, simply reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This will restore their fluffy texture and warm aroma, making them taste freshly baked.
Serving Suggestions
These breakfast rolls are incredibly versatile and can be served in a variety of ways. For a classic breakfast, pair them with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon for a wholesome meal. Alternatively, they make a great side dish for soups or salads, adding a savory touch to your lunch or dinner spread.
For a sweet twist, try spreading some honey or fruit preserves on a warm roll. The combination of sweet and savory flavors will delight your taste buds and make for a unique breakfast experience.

Consider incorporating shredded cheese, diced cooked bacon, or chopped sun-dried tomatoes into the dough for a heartier roll. These additions will enhance the flavor and make your breakfast rolls even more satisfying.
