Soft, fluffy dinner rolls infused with fresh garlic and topped with garlic butter—perfect as a side for any meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for dough)
  • 34 cloves garlic, minced (for dough)
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (plus more for topping)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 cup whole or 2% milk, warmed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 beaten egg (for brushing tops)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for finishing)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (for finishing)
  • Flaky sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Melt 4 tbsp butter with minced garlic until fragrant; let cool slightly.
  2. In a mixer bowl, whisk flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and parsley.
  3. Add warm milk, egg, and cooled garlic butter to the dry ingredients.
  4. Knead with a dough hook on low until smooth, soft, and tacky (10–12 minutes).
  5. Divide dough into 12 equal balls (about 67 g each), and place in a buttered 9×13 pan.
  6. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (1–2 hours).
  7. Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
  8. Brush tops with beaten egg.
  9. Bake for 20–30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. While baking, melt 2 tbsp butter with garlic, then stir in parsley.
  11. Brush rolls with garlic butter immediately after baking and sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a kitchen scale to divide dough evenly for uniform rolls.
  • Ensure yeast is fresh for best rise.
  • Over-kneading can make rolls tough; stop when dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Refrigerate shaped dough overnight for make-ahead convenience.
