This combination of cornmeal and cheese makes delicious rolls as does the combination of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and lemon-pepper seasoning. When both flavor combinations are side by side, these rolls will be the hit of your dinner party.

Grease a 9x9x2-inch square baking pan; set aside. In a shallow dish combine poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and lemon-pepper seasoning. In another shallow dish combine cornmeal and cheese. Place butter in a third dish. Working quickly, roll frozen dough pieces in butter, then in one of the seasoning mixtures to lightly coat, coating half of the rolls with the poppy seed-sesame seed mixture and the remaining rolls with the cornmeal-cheese seasoning mixture. Alternate rolls in the prepared pan. Cover rolls with greased plastic wrap. Let thaw in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
