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

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for garlic butter)

1 tablespoon minced garlic (for garlic butter)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garlic butter)

Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

  1. In a small pan, melt 4 1/2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of minced garlic. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let sit for 5 minutes, until foamy.
  3. Add the melted garlic butter, egg, salt, parsley, and 3 1/2 cups flour. Stir to combine, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour as needed. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours, until doubled in size.
  5. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces, roll them into smooth balls, and place in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Let rise for 30-45 minutes, until puffed up.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush rolls with beaten egg and bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. While baking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a pan, add garlic and parsley, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Brush the baked rolls with garlic butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  8. Cool slightly, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For cheesy garlic rolls, add shredded mozzarella cheese to the center before baking.

For extra flavor, infuse the garlic butter with rosemary or thyme.

For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.
