Garlic bread rolls are soft, fluffy dinner rolls brushed with rich garlic herb butter. They are perfect as a side dish for any meal or holiday gathering.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk (warmed to 90–100°F)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for garlic butter)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Salt to taste (for garlic butter)

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to 90–100°F and combine with sugar and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add bread flour, softened butter, egg, and salt to the mixture and knead until smooth and elastic (8–10 minutes by hand or 5–6 minutes in a stand mixer).
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 90 minutes until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the dough, divide into 12 equal pieces, and roll each into a ball.
  5. Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, cover, and let rise again for 60 minutes until puffy.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F and bake rolls for 22 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Brush over warm rolls immediately after baking.

Notes

  • For a cheesy variation, insert a cube of mozzarella or cheddar into each dough ball before baking.
  • Roasted garlic can be used for a milder, sweeter flavor.
  • Red pepper flakes can be added to the butter for a spicy twist.
  • Store at room temperature for 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 7–10 minutes or microwave for 20 seconds wrapped in a damp towel.
