Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water or milk (about 110°F)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for brushing)
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix warm water or milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add salt, melted butter, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface or in a stand mixer for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape into rolls and place in a greased baking dish or on a sheet pan.
  6. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix melted butter, garlic, and herbs in a small bowl.
  8. Brush rolls with garlic butter and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Brush with more garlic butter after baking for extra flavor. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Top with shredded mozzarella or Parmesan before baking for a cheesy twist.
  • Add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for heat.
  • Roasted garlic can be used for a milder, sweeter garlic flavor.
  • Store-bought dough can be used in a pinch—just prepare the garlic butter for brushing.
  • Freeze baked rolls for up to 2 months; reheat wrapped in foil at 350°F until warmed through.
