FAQs

1. Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough a day in advance. Simply refrigerate it after the first rise and bake the next day.

2. What kind of cheese works best for this recipe?

Cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda are great choices, but feel free to experiment with your favorite cheese varieties.

3. Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?

Yes, you can substitute dried herbs. Use about 1/3 of the amount compared to fresh herbs for the same flavor impact.

4. How should I store leftover rolls?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.

5. Can I add other ingredients like garlic or bacon?

Absolutely! Garlic, bacon bits, or even sun-dried tomatoes can be added for extra flavor. Just be careful not to overfill the rolls.
