Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) 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 Parmesan 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
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Dough
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, butter, and egg.
- Add the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
Step 2: Shaping the Rolls
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.
- Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased baking sheet or baking dish.
- Cover and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
Step 3: Baking the Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.
Step 4: Preparing the Garlic Parmesan Butter Topping
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and Italian seasoning.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
- Let the dough rise properly to ensure a fluffy texture.
- Brush with extra butter right after baking for a glossy finish.
- Bake on the middle rack for even cooking.
- Use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour for a slightly chewier texture.
- For cheesy garlic rolls, stuff each dough ball with mozzarella or cheddar cheese before baking.
