Garlic Butter Bread Rolls
Soft, golden bread rolls brushed with garlic butter, perfect for any meal or gathering.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour Can substitute with bread flour for more chew.
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast Can substitute with active dry yeast, but bloom in warm milk first.
- 1 cup Whole milk Can substitute with 2% milk or half milk and half buttermilk.
- 1 tablespoon Sugar Honey can be used for a different flavor.
- 1 teaspoon Salt Use less if using salted butter.
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter Softened for better blending.
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic Minced garlic is preferred; garlic powder can be a substitute.
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley For mixing with garlic butter before baking.
Instructions
Preparation
- Combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let it sit until foamy.
- Add 1 cup of flour, salt, and softened butter. Mix until shaggy, then let rest for 10 minutes.
- Knead the dough for 6 to 8 minutes until smooth and bouncy, adding flour only if it clings.
Rising
- Cover and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 60 minutes.
- Divide the dough into equal pieces, roll into smooth balls, and arrange in a buttered pan.
- Let the rolls puff until nearly double again.
Baking
- Mix melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt. Brush half of it over the rolls before baking.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 16 to 20 minutes until tops are lightly golden.
- Brush with the remaining garlic butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes to the garlic butter. Rolls can be made ahead or frozen for later use.
