  • —non-stick cooking spray

  • 1 stickunsalted butter · ½ cup, softened to room temperature
  • 2 to 3 clovesfresh garlic · minced

  • 1 to 2 tbspfresh flat-leaf parsley · finely chopped

Whipped Honey Sea Salt Butter

  • 1 sticksalted or unsalted butter · ½ cup, softened to room temperature
  • 2 to 3 tbsphoney
  • ½ tspflaky sea salt · such as Maldon

Steps

  1. 1

    Generously spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Place 2 frozen Rhodes dough balls side by side in each muffin cup, 24 dough balls total.

  3. 3

    Spray a large sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray, then lay it sprayed-side down loosely over the muffin tin.

  4. 4

    Set the pan in a warm, draft-free spot for 3 to 5 hours, until the dough thaws, rises, and doubles in size.

  5. 5

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the plastic wrap and bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and cooked through. Brush with melted butter straight out of the oven for extra shine if you like.

  6. 6

    For the garlic herb butter, finely mince the garlic and sprinkle it with the kosher salt. Use the flat side of a chef's knife to smear the salt and garlic against the board until it forms a smooth paste. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic paste, parsley, and black pepper with a fork until smooth, then spoon it into a ramekin.

  7. 7

    For the honey butter, stir the softened butter, honey, and flaky sea salt together in a second bowl with a fork or whisk until whipped and glossy, then spoon it into another ramekin.

  8. 8

    Serve the rolls hot with both butters on the side.
