I did it few weeks back for somebody asked me the recipie of sttufed dinner rolls the dough is same only diffrence is stuffing .You can try out it with various stuffing 

step by step recipe for making garlic bread rolls:

2.Beat the butter and oil with a spoon till light and fluffy. add all the spices, herbs and mix well.

3.Lightly punch the dough before making the rolls on a work surface, divide the dough into two parts.Take one part of the dough and on a lightly dusted work surface, roll to a round or rectangle till the width reaches to 1/2 inch.Spread the garlic butter evenly on the dough.

4. Roll the dough till the end, and cut it into equal size.

5.Grease a pan with butter spray or oil , place the rolls with the cut edges facing upwards in the pan. Brush their tops with remaining garlic butter. cover and let the rolls double up for 30-40 minutes.

6. Bake in a pre heated oven for 30-35 minutes at 180 degrees C till the tops are golden and the bread rolls sounds hollow when tapped.  serve the garlic bread rolls warm with tea or coffee.
