Garlic Butter Bread Rolls
Delightful, golden rolls infused with rich garlic butter, perfect as a side for any meal.
Ingredients
Roll Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a bowl, mix the warm water with the sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with the melted butter. Mix until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).
- Once your dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish, slightly spaced apart.
- Cover the rolls again and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- In a small pan over low heat, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the rolls with garlic butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the rolls cool slightly, brushing with more garlic butter before serving. Optional: sprinkle with fresh parsley for an extra touch.
Notes
You can store the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for about a week or freeze for later use. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes to enjoy them warm again.
