Garlic Bread Rolls
Soft, buttery, and garlicky, these homemade garlic bread rolls are the perfect side for pasta, soups, or holiday dinners. Easy to make, full of flavor, and freezer-friendly!
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour or bread flour for chewier rolls
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk about 110°F
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
For the Garlic Butter:
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy. Mix in flour, salt, melted butter, and egg. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
First Rise
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.
Shape Rolls
- Punch down the dough, divide into 12 equal pieces, and roll into balls. Place in a greased 9x13-inch pan. Cover and let rise 30–40 minutes.
Make Garlic Butter
- Stir together melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and Parmesan (if using). Brush half the mixture over the rolls.
Bake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown. Brush with remaining garlic butter before serving.
Notes
- Use bread flour for a chewier texture.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
- Refrigerate shaped rolls overnight to bake fresh the next day.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
