Ingredients
Scale
1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Stir in melted butter and salt. Gradually add 3 cups of flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
Brush the tops of the rolls with the herb mixture.
Place rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Brush with melted butter if desired before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herb mixture.
If fresh herbs are not available, use 1 teaspoon each of dried rosemary and thyme.
