Almost effortless pull-apart herbed dinner rolls

Even if you don't have the time (or know-how) to make bread from scratch, you still can bake up delicious Thanksgiving dinner rolls.

This savory monkey bread uses frozen white bread dough that is shaped into small balls, dunked in butter, herbs and cheese, then mounded into a pan and baked. The result is deliciously easy. So easy, in fact, it's a good project for the kids while you focus on the bird and more complicated sides.

Just be sure to buy frozen dough, not par-baked bread (which already has been partially cooked). The easiest way to thaw the dough is to leave it in the refrigerator overnight.
