# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in about 20 minutes start to finish but taste like you put in way more effort
  • The sweet and savory combo makes them universally addictive even for picky eaters
02 -
  • Keep the rolls connected until after baking so they steam each other and stay incredibly soft
  • Don't skip brushing the butter all the way to the edges those crispy corners are the best part
03 -
  • Room temperature cheese melts more evenly so take it out of the fridge while you preheat the oven
  • Cover with foil for the first 8 minutes if you want extra soft rolls then uncover to brown the tops
