Croque Monsieur Rolls Recipe
These beloved Croque Monsieur rolls are full of ham and cheese goodness, wrapped in a tender homemade dough that is totally worth the effort! Trust me when I say, these rolls are actually all about the dough, a dough that yields super tender bread that falls somewhere between the inside of a croissant and a beautiful loaf of brioche.

Poppy Seed Roll Recipe
If a traditional hard roll is your idea of the perfect dinner roll, check out our poppy seed roll recipe! When I talk about hard rolls, I’m not talking about rolls with a thick crust that you really sink your teeth into and then rip away a huge crusty chunk. Don’t get me wrong, those sound fantastic to me, but what I’m talking about are rolls with a thin, crispy crust and a soft, airy interior. That’s exactly what you’ll get when you bake these rolls.

Garlic Cheese Bombs Recipe
No dinner should skimp on the garlic, butter nor cheese, including Thanksgiving! These garlic cheese bombs are stuffed with mozzarella cheese and bursting with flavor. They’re one of our most popular recipes for a reason! The secret is the buttery garlic sauce which is brushed over the buns while warm so the bread soaks up every last drop where a melted cheese surprise awaits inside!
