# Ingredients:
→ Dinner Roll Dough
01 -
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 -
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
03 -
2 tbsp granulated sugar
04 -
1 tsp salt
05 -
1 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
06 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
07 -
1 large egg
→ Garlic Butter Topping
08 -
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
09 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 -
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
02 -
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add melted butter, egg, and yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
03 -
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. (Or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.)
04 -
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
05 -
Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape into balls and place in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
06 -
Cover and let rise again until puffy, about 30 minutes.
07 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
08 -
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown on top.
09 -
While the rolls are baking, melt butter and stir in minced garlic and parsley.
10 -
Brush the hot rolls generously with garlic butter right after baking.
11 -
Serve warm.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For extra cheesiness, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan over the rolls after brushing with garlic butter.
02 -
Dough can be made a day ahead — cover and refrigerate after the first rise, then bring to room temperature before shaping.
03 -
Rolls freeze well for up to 2 months; reheat and re-brush with garlic butter before serving.
