Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Activate the yeast by dissolving it and the sugar in warm water and let it foam for about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead and Rise: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and divide into equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking tray with space between each roll.
  4. Make the Garlic Butter: While the rolls rest for the second rise (about 30 minutes), mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Brush this garlic butter generously over each roll.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown on top. For extra flavor, brush additional garlic butter over the rolls immediately after baking.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best and most vibrant flavor.
  • Warm water should be around 110°F (43°C) to activate yeast without killing it.
  • Do not skip the second rise to ensure fluffy texture and enhanced flavor.
  • Brush garlic butter before and after baking for maximum taste and moisture.
  • Consider using a stand mixer with a dough hook to knead efficiently.
