Description
Soft and fluffy garlic butter bread rolls that are a perfect side for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine your warm water and sugar. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s bubbly.
- Make the dough: Gradually mix in the flour and salt. You can start with a spoon and then switch to your hands. Work until you have a smooth dough—about 5 minutes of kneading.
- First rise: Place the dough in a buttered bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled—about 1 hour.
- Shape the rolls: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 even pieces. Shape each into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Second rise: Cover again and let rise for another 30 minutes until puffed.
- Prepare the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic. Brush this over the rolls before baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Final touch: Brush with more garlic butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
Notes
These rolls can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in a low oven for about 10 minutes.
