Ingredients
-
For the Dough:
-
1 cup warm milk (about 110ºF)
-
2 tsp active dry yeast
-
1 tbsp granulated sugar
-
3 ¼ cups all-purpose or bread flour (spooned and leveled)
-
1 tsp salt
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1 large egg (room temperature, for dough)
-
1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
For the Garlic Butter Topping:
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
-
Sea salt to taste
-
Instructions
-
Activate Yeast: In a stand mixer bowl, whisk together warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
-
Make Dough: Add flour, salt, melted butter, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix into a shaggy dough. Knead with a dough hook on low speed for 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. If sticky, add 1 tbsp flour and knead again.
-
First Rise: Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 – 1½ hours until doubled in size.
-
Shape Rolls: Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll into smooth balls and place in a greased 9”x13” baking pan, leaving space between.
-
Second Rise: Cover with cling wrap and let rise again for 1 – 2 hours, until puffed and touching.
-
Bake: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Brush rolls with egg wash and bake for 20 – 25 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Make Garlic Butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, add garlic, and cook 2 minutes until fragrant (don’t brown).
-
Finish Rolls: Brush warm rolls with garlic butter, sprinkle with parsley and sea salt, and serve warm.
Notes
-
If the dough is sticky, add a bit more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until smooth and elastic.
-
Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
-
You can prepare the rolls a day ahead and refrigerate them after the second rise, then bake them the next day.
