Soft, fluffy dinner rolls bursting with rich garlic flavor, brushed with garlic herb butter for an irresistible aroma and taste.

Ingredients

4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons minced garlic

3 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast

1 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 cup whole or 2% milk, warmed to 110°F

1 large egg, room temperature

1 beaten egg, for brushing the tops

For the garlic butter:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Lightly butter a 9×13 baking pan and set aside.
  2. In a small pot, melt 4 1/2 tablespoons butter and add 2 tablespoons minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, parsley, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warmed milk, egg, and the garlic butter mixture. Knead with a dough hook on low speed for 10-12 minutes until dough is smooth, soft, and slightly tacky. Add flour one tablespoon at a time if dough is too sticky.
  4. Divide dough into 12 equal portions (about 67 grams each). Shape each into a smooth ball, pinching the bottom to seal. Place rolls in prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap or towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  6. Brush tops of rolls with beaten egg wash.
  7. Bake rolls for 20-30 minutes until golden brown on top.
  8. While baking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a pot and add 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant, remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley.
  9. Immediately brush warm rolls with garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Store leftover rolls in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze up to 2 months.
  • Reheat rolls in 350°F oven for 10 minutes or microwave briefly, then brush with garlic butter for freshness.
  • Use instant yeast for direct mixing without proofing.
  • Fresh parsley is preferred; dried parsley can be substituted at one-third the amount.
  • Internal temperature of 190°F (88°C) indicates fully baked rolls.
  • Dough can be prepared ahead, refrigerated overnight, then brought to room temperature and risen before baking.
  • Use plant-based butter and flax eggs for vegan version.
