Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast

Garlic Butter Filling

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt, then add softened butter. Pour in the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for about 7–8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  3. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and divide into 9–12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a small rectangle or oval, brush generously with garlic butter, then roll up tightly to seal in the filling. Arrange the rolls seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  6. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls and allow them to rise for 30–40 minutes, or until puffy.
  7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with more melted butter. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Finish and Serve: While the rolls are hot, brush with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with parsley and parmesan, if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate overnight for a slow rise.
  • Substitute dried herbs if fresh parsley isn’t available; use 2 teaspoons dried parsley.
  • Add a little mozzarella cheese to the filling for an extra cheesy surprise.
  • Great for freezing – reheat in a low oven before serving.
