Print Recipe

Soft, fluffy dinner rolls brushed with rich garlic butter, perfect for complementing any meal or enjoying on their own.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warm
  • 1/4 cup water, warm
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for garlic butter)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (for garlic butter)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the melted butter and egg to the yeast mixture and mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
  8. Place dough balls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spacing them evenly.
  9. Cover the dish and let the rolls rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  10. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  12. While the rolls bake, combine softened butter and minced garlic to make the garlic butter.
  13. Remove rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops generously with garlic butter.
  14. Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the rolls for garnish.
  15. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the garlic butter before brushing on the rolls.
