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.
