Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg

For the Garlic Butter Topping:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon parsley (chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a small bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, butter, and egg.
  3. Add the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

Step 2: Shape the Rolls

  1. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  2. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased baking sheet.
  3. Cover and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Step 3: Bake the Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter Topping

  1. Melt the butter and mix in garlic, parsley, salt, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Brush the warm rolls generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  3. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
  • Let the dough rise fully for a lighter, fluffier texture.
  • Brush with extra butter after baking for maximum flavor.
  • Bake on the middle rack for even browning.
  • For cheesy garlic rolls, stuff each dough ball with mozzarella or cheddar cheese before baking.
