Ingredients
Scale
For the dough:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup warm milk
For the garlic butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, olive oil, egg, and warm milk. Mix until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, arranging them closely together.
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- While the rolls are rising, prepare the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt.
- Once the rolls have risen, brush the garlic butter generously over the top of the dough balls.
- Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Brush the rolls with more garlic butter after baking, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- These rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in the oven.
- For a cheesy twist, you can sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the rolls during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- You can freeze the rolls after baking for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven before serving.
