Description

Soft and pillowy dinner rolls brushed with a rich garlic butter coating, perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm whole milk (around 110°F)
  • 3 teaspoons active dry yeast or instant yeast
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 6 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
  • For the egg wash: 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon milk
  • For garlic butter: 1/4 cup salted butter, 2-3 finely chopped garlic cloves, 1-2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Stir warm milk and yeast together in a large bowl. Let sit for a few minutes.
  2. Add sugar, flour, egg, salt, and softened butter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with cling wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 90 minutes until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down dough, turn out, and divide into 12 pieces, rolling each into a ball.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment, place rolls on it, and brush with egg wash. Let rise again for 30-45 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 20-22 minutes until golden.
  8. For garlic butter, melt salted butter, sauté garlic for 1-2 minutes, then mix in parsley. Brush rolls with garlic butter after baking.

Notes

Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the milk is at the right temperature for yeast activation. Adjust garlic quantity in the garlic butter to taste.
