Herbed Fan Tan Dinner Rolls

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 (17.4-ounce) package refrigerated loaf bread (we tested with Pillsbury Homestyle)

Preparation

1. Combine butter and Italian seasoning, stirring well.
2. Roll dough into a 15" x 8" rectangle. Cut into 4 (2"-wide) lengthwise strips. Stack strips on top of each other. Cut strips crosswise into 12 equal pieces.
3. Place each piece, cut side up, into greased muffin pans; brush with butter mixture. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 25 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until golden. Brush with butter mixture again, if desired.
