Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for dough)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (for dough)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (for topping)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix warm milk with a pinch of sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and garlic powder. Stir in the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape into balls and place in a greased baking pan with space between each.
- Cover and let the rolls rise for another 30–45 minutes until puffy.
- Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush over the rolls. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush with more garlic-butter after baking and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- For cheesy rolls, press a cube of cheese into the center of each ball before baking.
- Substitute half the flour with whole wheat for a nuttier version.
- Spice it up with cayenne or red pepper flakes in the butter.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven to restore texture.
