Golden, buttery, and irresistibly crispy, Sandwich Crust Garlic Rolls turn simple bread crusts into a savory treat. Brushed with garlic butter and baked to perfection, they’re the perfect quick snack or side that’s packed with flavor and zero waste.
Ingredients
- 10 soft sandwich bread crusts white, wheat, or multigrain
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
- ¼ tsp salt adjust to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp grated mozzarella or parmesan cheese optional, for a cheesy center
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking tray with high-quality parchment paper and set aside.
- Flatten the Bread: Lay your bread crusts flat on a clean surface. Using a rolling pin or a smooth glass, gently roll over each slice to flatten it. This prevents the bread from tearing when rolled.
- Mix the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the Rolls: Using a pastry brush, generously coat one side of each flattened crust with the garlic butter mixture. If using cheese, sprinkle a small amount evenly over the buttered side.
- Roll and Arrange: Tightly roll each crust into a small spiral log. Place the rolls seam-side down onto your prepared baking tray so they hold their shape.
- Glaze: Brush any remaining garlic butter over the tops of the arranged rolls for maximum golden-brown crispness.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the rolls are beautifully golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm alongside your favorite soup, pasta, or dipping sauce. Enjoy!
