Parmesan-Ranch Pan Rolls

My mom taught me this easy recipe, which is great for feeding a crowd. There is never a crumb left over. Mom used her own bread dough, but using frozen dough is my shortcut. I make a wheat bread dough version with poppy and sesame seeds that’s popular, too.18 ServingsPrep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.
