Pillowy garlic bread rolls that toast up golden and finish with a shiny garlic-butter glaze, perfect for family dinners or holiday bread baskets.
Ingredients
- 4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (for dough)
- 3 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for dough)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup whole milk or 2% milk, warmed to ~110°F (43°C)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 beaten egg (for brushing tops)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for finishing garlic butter)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (for finishing garlic butter)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for finishing garlic butter)
- Flaky sea salt, optional, for sprinkling after finishing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and set aside.
- In a small bowl, melt 4 1/2 tablespoons butter and stir in 2 tablespoons minced garlic. Let it cool to warm.
- In a stand mixer, whisk together 3 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon flour, 3 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add the warmed milk, room-temperature egg, and cooled garlic-butter to the dry ingredients. Mix on low until the dough comes together.
- Increase to low-medium and knead for 10–12 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a tight ball. Place them seam-side down in the prepared pan.
- Cover loosely and let the rolls rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1–2 hours.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg and bake for 20–30 minutes until golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan, add 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and cook until fragrant. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.
- Brush the rolls with the warm garlic butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Use non-dairy milk for a vegan option. These rolls can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight after shaping for improved flavor.
