Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
- Add salt, melted butter, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, and parsley (if using).
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12-16 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
- Let the rolls rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and brush with more melted garlic butter. Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use garlic-infused butter.
- You can add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese to the tops of the rolls before baking.
- Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.
