Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F) Ensure water is at the correct temperature for activating yeast.
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted) Use additional for brushing after baking.
Garlic Butter Topping
- 4-5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours.
Shaping and Rising
- Punch down the dough, divide it into 12 pieces, and shape into balls. Place on a baking sheet.
- Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
Baking
- In a saucepan, melt the remaining butter, add garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in parsley.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the rolls with garlic butter and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush with more garlic butter after baking.
