Description

These Garlic Butter Dinner Rolls are fluffy, buttery, and brushed with garlicky herb butter. Perfect for holidays or weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 220ml (1 cup) warm milk
  • 1½ tsp sugar
  • 7g (1 tbsp) active dry yeast
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 400g (3 cups) bread flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg (for brushing)
  • 1 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 clove garlic (pressed or minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add oil, egg, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Stir in flour until a dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes by hand or use stand mixer with dough hook.
  4. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until tripled in size.
  5. Punch down dough, divide into 16 equal pieces, and shape into balls.
  6. Arrange rolls in a buttered 9×13 inch pan, 1 inch apart. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush rolls with beaten egg and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. While baking, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Stir in parsley.
  9. Brush warm rolls with garlic butter right out of the oven. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make dough ahead and refrigerate overnight after shaping. Let rise before baking. Rolls can be frozen after baking. Add Parmesan before baking for extra flavor.
