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

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, butter, and egg.
  3. Add the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms.
  4. 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

  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.
  2. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased baking sheet or baking dish.
  3. Cover and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.

Step 3: Baking the Rolls

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.

Step 4: Preparing the Garlic Parmesan Butter Topping

  1. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Once the rolls are out of the oven, immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture.
  3. 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.
