Delicious Homemade Garlic Bread Rolls That Impress

Garlic Bread Rolls made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped, optional

Instructions

  • Activate the yeast by combining warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and melted butter.
  • Stir the mixture until a sticky dough forms, then knead it on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
  • Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  • While the dough rises, prepare the garlic butter mixture by combining melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a bowl.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release excess air, then divide it into 12 equal pieces, shaping each into a roll.
  • Cover the shaped rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes until they have puffed up.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls rise. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and brush with remaining garlic butter while still warm. Let cool slightly before serving.
