Ingredients

For the Rolls:

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)

For the Garlic Butter:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough: Melt 4 1/2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  • Activate Yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the mixture and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  • Make Dough: Add garlic butter, egg, parsley, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.

  • Knead the Dough: Turn out dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook.

  • First Rise: Grease a bowl, place dough inside, and cover. Let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

  • Shape the Rolls: Punch down dough and divide it into 12 portions. Roll into balls and place in a greased 9×13-inch pan.

  • Second Rise: Let rolls rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.

  • Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush rolls with beaten egg and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding.

  • Prepare Garlic Butter: While rolls bake, melt remaining butter in a saucepan. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, then stir in parsley.

  • Finish Rolls: Brush baked rolls with garlic butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

  • Serve: Let cool slightly before serving or enjoy warm.

Notes

For extra cheesy rolls, fold in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese into the dough.

You can make these gluten-free using a gluten-free flour blend.

The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge overnight for a quicker baking process the next day.
