Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, 1/4 cup melted butter, and the yeast mixture.
  3. Stir in the flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Gently punch down the dough. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  7. Arrange the dough balls close together in a greased 9×9 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise again for 30 to 45 minutes, or until puffy.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375F (190C).
  9. While the rolls are rising, prepare the garlic butter. In a small bowl, mix the 4 tablespoons softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
  10. Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Immediately brush the tops of the hot rolls generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  12. Serve warm.

Notes

  • The milk temperature is important for activating the yeast; do not use milk that is too hot.
  • Kneading develops the gluten, giving the rolls their soft texture.
  • For extra flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the melted butter mixture.
