Soft and fluffy garlic bread rolls made with fresh garlic and herbs in the dough, finished with a buttery garlic herb glaze.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls 1x

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
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 beaten egg (for brushing the tops)
  • For the Garlic Butter:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Flaky sea salt (to sprinkle on top)

Instructions

  1. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a small pot, stir in minced garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, chopped parsley, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
  4. Pour in the warmed milk, add the egg, and cooled garlic butter. Knead the dough using a dough hook on low speed for 10-12 minutes until smooth and tacky. If sticky, add flour a tablespoon at a time until manageable.
  5. Divide dough into 12 equal parts (about 67 grams each). Roll each into a tight, smooth ball with the seam pinched underneath.
  6. Arrange rolls in the prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap or kitchen towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  8. Brush tops of rolls with beaten egg for shine.
  9. Bake rolls for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. While baking, make garlic butter by melting butter and garlic, then stir in fresh parsley off heat.
  11. Brush garlic herb butter on rolls immediately after baking. Sprinkle flaky sea salt if desired.
  12. Serve rolls warm for best flavor.

Notes

Use a stand mixer with a dough hook if possible for easier kneading., Don’t rush the rising time; it ensures fluffy soft rolls., Make rolls the same size (about 67 grams) for even baking., Generously brush rolls with garlic butter after baking for extra flavor., If using active dry yeast, activate it in warm milk with sugar before adding to dry ingredients., Store rolls in an airtight container or ziplock bag at room temperature for 2-3 days., After baking and cooling, freeze rolls in an airtight container up to one month., Make ahead by refrigerating shaped rolls overnight; let rise at room temperature before baking., Reheat wrapped in foil at 350°F until warm, or microwave for 20-30 seconds.
