Garlic Bread Rolls

• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 1 hour 30 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 50 minutes

Ingredients

4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons minced garlic

3 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (*See notes below for measuring*)

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

2 1/4 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

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

flaky sea salt (for finishing)

Directions

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. Take off the heat and cool while you measure the other ingredients.

In a stand mixing bowl, combine the flour, parsley, sugar, yeast, and salt. Then add the warmed milk, egg, and garlic butter from above. Knead on low speed with the dough hook until the dough looks smooth and feels soft and tacky, about 10-12 minutes. *If the dough is too sticky, add one tablespoon of flour at a time until you have a workable dough.

Cut the kneaded dough into 12 equal portions (use a scale for accuracy- 67 grams each). Shape each piece of dough into a smooth ball with your hand. Pinch the bottom of the roll where the seam comes together to keep it tight. Then place the shaped dough balls into the prepared baking pan. Cover the top with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and set them in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours. *Watch the video below for visual aid!

Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C.

Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg wash. Then bake the dinner rolls for 20-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

While the rolls are baking, make the garlic butter. Melt the butter in a pot and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Then remove it from the heat and stir in the parsley. When the rolls come out of the oven, immediately brush them with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and serve warm!
