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
- In a small bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, butter, and egg.
- Add the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
Step 2: Shape the Rolls
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased baking sheet.
- Cover and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Step 3: Bake the Rolls
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter Topping
- Melt the butter and mix in garlic, parsley, salt, and Italian seasoning.
- Brush the warm rolls generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- 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.
