Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F or 43°C)
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110°F or 43°C)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: Combine warm milk, warm water, and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle instant yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter. Stir together until a dough forms.
  3. Knead Dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes or use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-6 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Shape Rolls: Punch down the risen dough, divide it into 12-16 equal portions, and shape each portion into a ball. Arrange the dough balls in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish.
  6. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes until they puff up.
  7. Bake Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
  8. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the rolls bake, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
  9. Finish and Serve: Once the rolls are hot out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure milk and water are warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • You can substitute fresh yeast with instant yeast as per the recipe.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder to the dough.
  • If you prefer softer rolls, brush with additional melted butter after baking.
  • These rolls freeze well; thaw and warm before serving.
