Ingredients
Scale
- 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 the topping)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (for the topping)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for finishing)
- Flaky sea salt (for finishing)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warmed milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it’s frothy and bubbly.
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the salt. Once the yeast is activated, pour the milk mixture into the flour, along with the egg and softened butter, and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead it out: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- First rise: Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
- Roll and shape: Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface again, dividing it into 12 equal pieces and rolling each piece into a ball.
- Second rise: Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover with the towel again, and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes.
- Prep the topping: Melt your butter in a small pan and mix in the minced garlic and chopped parsley.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg, then bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Finishing touches: Brush the rolls with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
