Description
Warm, fluffy dinner rolls made with garlic butter, perfect for family gatherings and holiday feasts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk (240g), warm (around 110°F)
- 3 teaspoons active dry or instant yeast
- 1/3 cup sugar (70g)
- 3 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (490g)
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85g), softened
- Egg wash: 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 cup salted butter (57g)
- 2-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
- Warm the milk to around 110°F and sprinkle the yeast in, letting it sit for a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk-yeast mixture with sugar, softened unsalted butter, salt, all-purpose flour, and the egg.
- Mix until forming a shaggy dough, then knead on a clean surface for about 15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with cling wrap, and let rise for about 90 minutes until doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down, turn it out onto a surface, and divide it into 12 equal pieces, rolling each into a tight ball.
- Line a 9×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper and space the rolls out on it.
- Make the egg wash by mixing an egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of milk and brush it over the rolls.
- Let the rolls rise again for 30-45 minutes in a warm spot.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, then brush the rolls again with egg wash before baking for 20-22 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
For best results, keep the dough warm and humid during rising. Use garlic butter for brushing after baking for enhanced flavor.
