Rosemary & Sea Salt Rolls in a Jar

Ingredients

• 1 bag frozen dinner rolls (The source used Rhodes 100% Whole Wheat Texas Rolls; prepare according to the package directions up to just before baking.)
• 2 tbsp olive oil (Mixed with the finely chopped rosemary.)
• fresh rosemary (Several sprigs; finely chop the leaves and reserve the sprig tips for garnish.)
• coarse sea salt (For sprinkling over the rolls.)
• olive oil cooking spray (For coating the jars.)
• small wide-mouth jelly jars (The source later specifies 4-ounce jars; use jars suitable for baking if confirmed by the manufacturer.)

Steps

1. 1

   Spray the small wide-mouth jelly jars with olive oil cooking spray.

2. 2

   Place the frozen dinner rolls in the prepared jars. Prepare and allow them to rise according to the package directions, stopping immediately before the package's baking step.

3. 3

   Strip the leaves from several rosemary sprigs. Finely chop the leaves, reserving the tips of the sprigs for garnish.

4. 4

   Mix the finely chopped rosemary with the olive oil.

5. 5

   Once the rolls have risen, brush their tops with the rosemary-and-olive-oil mixture.

6. 6

   Place a reserved rosemary sprig tip so that it sticks out of the top of each roll.

7. 7

   Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the tops of the rolls.

8. 8

   Bake the rolls according to the package directions.

Notes

The source does not provide the frozen-roll package's rise or baking times, temperature, or exact yield, so follow the package directions for those details. The author specifies 4-ounce jars as the appropriate size. Use only jars explicitly rated for baking, since ordinary jelly jars may not be oven-safe.
