Asiago Designer Dinner Rolls Recipes

ASIAGO DESIGNER DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Place bag of dough in refrigerator over night.
• 2. In the morning place balls on cookie sheets; lined or greased. Cover loosely with Saran Wrap. Lay damp paper towel over wrap and let rise.
• 3. Melt butter in bowl. Once balls have risen to baseball size, dip in melted butter and return to cookie sheets. They dough balls will have deflated during this process. Repeat Saran Wrap and paper towel and let rise again. This will take about two hours for the second rising.
• 4. Once they have risen to your chosen size, sprinkle with garlic, cheese and parsley. Bake. Best if the cheese gets down on sides, between rolls.
• 5. Bake at 350 for 14-15 minutes.

EASY ASIAGO OLIVE ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
• On lightly floured surface, unroll dough. Spread olive tapenade over dough to within 1/4 inch of edge. Sprinkle with cheese and 1 teaspoon rosemary. Starting at long side, gently roll up dough. Cut into 10 (11/4-inch-thick) slices. Place slices in cake pan. Brush tops of slices with melted butter.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.

EASY GARLIC, ROSEMARY, AND ASIAGO CHEESE DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Thaw frozen dinner rolls at room temperature until soft enough to cut, yet still cold.
• Grease a 12-count muffin pan with softened butter or generously spray with nonstick cooking spray. Scatter flour on a plate. Cut each thawed roll in half. Roll each half into a ball and lightly toss in flour, knocking off any excess. Place three dough balls in each greased muffin cup. Cover muffin pan with a piece of plastic wrap that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Allow to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size (do not let rise too much above the top edge of the muffin pan).
• While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt the butter and stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper until garlic is dissolved. Gently brush the risen rolls with the garlic butter and evenly sprinkle with the fresh minced rosemary and asiago cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool in pan for a few minutes before removing to a rack. Serve warm.

PEPPERONI AND ASIAGO PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Cut puff pastry crosswise in half to form 2 rectangles. Spread 1 tablespoon mustard over 1 puff pastry rectangle, leaving 1-inch plain border at 1 long edge. Place half of pepperoni in single layer atop mustard. Top pepperoni with half of cheese mixture. Brush plain border with egg. Starting at side opposite plain border, roll up pastry, sealing at egg-coated edge. Transfer pastry roll, seam side down, to medium baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pastry rectangle, mustard, pepperoni, cheese mixture, and egg. Chill rolls until firm, about 30 minutes, or wrap and chill up to 1 day. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil. Lightly spray with vegetable oil spray. Cut each pastry roll into about thirty 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Transfer pinwheels to prepared sheets. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to platter; serve.
