    Strikingly beautiful rolls with a wonderful crusty toasted hard cheese and herb topping. Wonderful for special meals, guests or just for that extra special touch.

Make Ahead: The unbaked rolls can be refrigerated overnight, then brought to room temperature the next day and let rise (loosely covered) for 2 hour
