Ingredients

  • 1 package Frozen Rolls (36 count)
  • 6 sticks string cheese, cut into 36 pieces
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Butter Glaze

  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • spices you can add fresh or dried italian seasoning, rosemary, thyme or whatever you like.
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Take rolls out to thaw. You can thaw them on the countertop for 2-3 hours or take them out of the freezer the night before and let them thaw in the refrigerator.

  2. Preheat oven to 425-degrees. Lay parchment paper on baking tray. I used a round baking tray so I cut the parchment paper into the circle shape so it would fit in the pan. (Having the parchment paper fit the pan keeps the wreath edges from getting bunched up in the paper as it rises in the oven).

  3. Take one roll out of the package and flatten it in your hand. Add a cube of string cheese and wrap the edges of the dough around the cube of cheese so it is completely enclosed in the dough.

  4. Place the dough ball on the parchment paper with the seam side down. Do this with all 36 rolls, placing them so they touch each other gently and go around in a round shape. Create one circle and then place rolls inside the circle so there are two circles of dough balls with all dough touching gently.

  5. Make an egg wash by putting an egg in a small bowl and adding about 1/4 cup of water. Whisk until combined. Brush egg wash over rolls.

  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over rolls.

  7. Place baking sheet in 400-oven for 16-18 minutes. I turn the tray half way through so the rolls brown more evenly.

  8. Once rolls are done baking, take the baking tray out of the oven.

  9. Melt butter, add herbs, salt and pepper. Brush butter glaze over rolls.
