Key Ingredients for 30-Minute Garlic Parmesan Dinner Rolls
- 2 cups all-purpose flour: The backbone of our rolls, providing the necessary structure.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder: To help them rise quickly and achieve that fluffy texture.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder: Bringing the flavor powerhouse to life!
- 1 teaspoon salt: Enhances all the other flavors.
- 1 cup milk: Contributes to the rolls’ moisture and softness.
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted: Adds richness and aids in the roll’s lovely texture.
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese: A must-have topping for that savory finish.
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional): For a pop of color and flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). You’ll want your rolls to bake in a hot oven for an ideal fluffy texture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk them well until combined.
- Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Form the Rolls: Use a spoon or your hands to scoop out portions of dough and shape them into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
- Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the formed dough balls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, giving them a little room to rise.
- Add Parmesan and Bake: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the rolls. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: After taking them out of the oven, brush some melted butter over the top of the rolls for that sumptuous finish. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired!
What to Serve 30-Minute Garlic Parmesan Dinner Rolls With
These delightful rolls would pair beautifully with a rich bowl of soup or a hearty stew. Think of classics like our homemade tomato basil soup or creamy chicken noodle. They’re also great alongside a fresh salad or served with some herb-infused olive oil for dipping! For an added touch, consider serving them with a light white wine or sparkling lemonade to complement the savory flavors perfectly.
Top Tips for Perfecting 30-Minute Garlic Parmesan Dinner Rolls
- Don’t Over-Mix: The dough should be just combined; a few lumps are okay.
- Warm Milk: Slightly warm the milk before adding it to the dry ingredients to help the dough rise better.
- Rest the Dough: If you have an extra 5 minutes, let the dough rest for a moment before shaping. This helps develop gluten and gives you fluffier rolls.
- Experiment with Cheese: Feel free to switch it up! Try using mozzarella or cheddar cheese for a different flavor profile.
Storing and Reheating Tips
Once you’ve baked up these delightful 30-Minute Garlic Parmesan Dinner Rolls, you’ll likely want to save a few for later! Simply store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed and delicious!
