Ingredients

Scale

Dough 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

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and 2 tablespoons minced garlic. Add the warm milk, sugar, instant yeast, and beaten egg to the mixture and whisk gently until combined.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and chopped parsley.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them evenly spaced on a greased baking sheet or in a baking dish.
  6. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise again for 30 to 45 minutes, until puffy.
  7. Preheat Oven and Prepare Topping: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon minced garlic and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley for the garlic butter topping.
  8. Brush and Bake: Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a glossy finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Apply Garlic Butter and Finish: As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For measuring flour accurately, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife instead of scooping directly, to avoid compacting.
  • Milk temperature is important; it should be warm (about 110°F) to activate yeast but not hot enough to kill it.
  • You can substitute fresh parsley with dried parsley if fresh is unavailable, but use about 1 teaspoon dried parsley.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently before serving.
