Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add melted butter and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each into a ball and place in a greased baking dish close together.
  7. Cover and let rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes until puffed.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Mix minced garlic into the 1/4 cup melted butter. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
  10. Bake rolls for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and brush again with garlic butter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For an extra cheesy twist, sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese over the garlic butter before baking.
