Description
These soft and buttery garlic bread rolls are perfect for any dinner, adding a cozy touch to your meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm milk or warm water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg (optional)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced or 1 to 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the dough. In a large bowl, mix warm milk or water with sugar and yeast. If you are using instant yeast, you can skip the waiting. If using active dry yeast, give it 5 to 10 minutes until it looks foamy. Add melted butter (not hot), salt, and the egg if using, then stir in flour little by little until a dough forms.
- Knead until smooth. Turn it onto a lightly floured counter and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and springy.
- Put the dough into a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise until doubled, usually about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the room.
- Punch down the dough gently and divide into equal pieces. Roll each into a smooth ball by tucking the edges under and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover again and let them puff up until they look pillowy, about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden on top, usually 18 to 24 minutes.
- While the rolls bake, melt butter and stir in minced garlic, salt, and parsley.
- Brush generously with the garlic butter as soon as the rolls come out and let them sit for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, the egg is optional. You can also use garlic powder in place of fresh garlic. Try adding a little Parmesan for extra flavor.
