1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
3 tbsp. sesame seeds
1/2 tsp. dried basil, crushed
1 (30 oz.) pkg. (24) frozen unbaked rolls
1/4 c. butter, melted
2 tbsp. real bacon bits (optional)

Thoroughly grease a 10 inch fluted tube pan. In a small bowl combine Parmesan cheese, sesame seed, and basil. Add about one third of the mixture to greased pan; lift and turn pan to coat the sides and bottom.

Place 10 of the frozen rolls in the pan; drizzle with half the butter. Sprinkle half of the remaining cheese mixture atop. If desired, sprinkle with bacon bits. Add remaining rolls. Drizzle with remaining butter and sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture.

Cover; let rolls thaw and rise overnight (12 to 24 hours) in refrigerator.

The next day let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Cover with foil and bake 10 to 15 minutes more or until golden. Remove bread from pan onto a wire rack. Serve warm. Makes 12 servings.
