Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 1 cup water Warm water, around 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter For mixing into the dough
  • 1/2 cup milk Warmed
  • 2 tablespoons honey Adds sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon active-dry yeast Make sure it's fresh
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour Add gradually as needed
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary Adds flavor
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Garlic Herb Butter
  • 3 tablespoons butter For brushing
  • 2 cloves garlic Peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Optional Topping
  • flaky sea salt For serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Stir together the water and melted butter in a saucepan. Add the milk and honey, stirring until combined. Heat over medium-low heat until the mixture reaches 110°F.
  2. Pour the warm liquid into the large bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the surface and stir briefly to combine. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
  3. Add 3 1/2 cups flour, chopped rosemary, fine sea salt, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix on medium-low speed until combined. If the dough is sticky, add up to 1/2 cup more flour, not exceeding 4 cups total.
  4. Knead the dough on low speed for 4-5 minutes until smooth.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball, transfer it to a greased bowl, and cover it with a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm spot for 15 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  2. Punch down the dough gently and divide it into 15 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them closely in the greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 15-20 minutes until puffy.
  3. Remove the cover and bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  4. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Garlic Herb Butter
  1. While baking, melt butter in a small saucepan. Add thinly sliced garlic and simmer for 2 minutes. Strain out garlic slices and stir in parsley.
  2. Brush the hot rolls with garlic herb butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Notes

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in aluminum foil in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes. Freeze for up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge before reheating.
