# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in under 30 minutes but taste like something you spent way more effort on
  • The sweet and savory combo hits every craving at once
02 -
  • Resist the urge to pull them apart before baking, the connected rolls help steam the cheese perfectly
  • Watch them closely after 12 minutes because the sugar in Hawaiian rolls makes the tops brown fast
03 -
  • Use a pastry brush for even coverage instead of drizzling, it makes such a difference in how the tops brown
  • If your rolls are extra large, consider cutting the cheese slices in half and layering two pieces per roll for better coverage
