These easy Garlic Pesto Dinner Rolls are a warm and soft addition to your Italian dinner.
Oh my goodness, our house smells amazing!!
There is something so extra special about homemade bread and the warm mouthwatering scent that fills the air as it bakes in your oven.
I used the Parker House dinner roll recipe with Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast as the base for these Garlic Pesto Dinner Rolls, and now I’m kind of obsessed with the ease and simplicity of this recipe.
You can totally make the original recipe (so good!), but I decided to give them an Italian twist by topping them with freshly minced garlic and pesto right before baking them.
I am super passionate about homemade baked goods, but I’m not sure if I’m more passionate about making them or eating them… Because I love both!
I know it can be a bit scary working with yeast for the first time, but I have 2 quick tips to help you.
- Be sure to add water heated to 120˚F-130˚F and to carefully follow recipe instructions. Always use a thermometer to check the temperature to ensure proper rising as hot water will kill the yeast. The water should be lukewarm, not hot.
- Make sure the yeast isn’t expired, as this is often the reason for dough ‘not rising’.
Super simple!
Plus, once your delicious baked good comes out of the oven, you’ll be hooked!
I have been making no-knead bread for a while now. I even have 4 different flavorful no-knead bread recipes on my website, and I know that having a good yeast is very important.
And since nothing tastes better than homemade, and because I wanted these dinner rolls to rise perfectly, I used with Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast.
Roger and I love to bake from scratch because nothing tastes (or smells) better than homemade.
I love mixing, measuring and pouring because it’s science with a delicious result!
And the joy it brings always makes it worth it. With Fleischmann’s 150 years of experience, you can bake quality, yeast recipes you’re proud to share with your family and friends.
Because offering what you’ve baked yourself expresses more than words can say. And people always appreciate something you made yourself out of love that tastes delicious!
I hope you and your family enjoy these super easy Garlic Pesto Dinner Rolls this week for dinner!
