Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 4.5 tablespoons unsalted butter For the dough
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour Plus 1 tablespoon for adjustments if necessary
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup whole or 2% milk Warmed to 110°F
- 1 large egg Room temperature
- 1 beaten egg For brushing the tops
Garlic Butter Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter For the garlic butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic For the garlic butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley For the garlic butter
- Flaky sea salt For finishing
Instructions
Preparation
- Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13 pan and set it aside.
- In a small pot, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant, then remove from heat and cool.
- In a stand mixing bowl, combine the flour, parsley, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Add the warmed milk, egg, and the cooled garlic butter. Knead on low speed with the dough hook until the dough is smooth and feels soft and tacky, about 10-12 minutes.
- Cut the kneaded dough into 12 equal portions (67 grams each). Shape each piece into a smooth ball by pinching the bottom.
- Place the dough balls into the prepared baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg wash. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, prepare the garlic butter by melting butter in a pot and adding minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then stir in the parsley.
- When the rolls come out of the oven, immediately brush them with the garlic butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
Notes
Best served warm, Garlic Bread Rolls pair nicely with pasta dishes, soups, or as a side for salads. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
