- Place seal side on a sprayed baking sheet. Add vents on the top by cutting slits 3 small with a sharp knife.

I believe they are the rolls, i use the rolls to make sausage and cheese rolls. I’m thinking that i would use two rolls. Roll them both out, fill with what you choose to fill it with, take the second piece of dough, place it on top and seal it with a fork, cut slits on top and bake according to instructions, this is how i plan to do mine. I love using rhodes rolls and bread dough!

I just experimented with Rhodes dinner rolls to make school-friendly savory snacks for my granddaughters. Schools are so strict these days it is maddening! and most school-friendly snacks from home wind up being something sweet (bars or muffins or fruit) – the girls were longing for something savory instead.
Rhodes dinner rolls saved the day! I used thawed rolls, patted them flat, stuffed them with a mixture of mashed & seasoned red beans and crumbled (pre-cooked) bacon. I Tucked & sealed the dough around the filling, brushed the tops with egg wash, baked seam side down. They came out perfect, a midwest grandma version of asian steamed bean-filled buns.
They made it through the school requirements, too: easy to eat, not messy, individually wrapped, contain no nuts or nut butters, do not need refrigeration outside of the lunchbox, are not a pre-packaged high processed food, and they contain “healthy ingredients” – the last of which the school might quibble over the bacon, but i have them dead to rights with the beans, lol.. Cheers!
