Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13 pan.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and cook garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, parsley, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warmed milk, egg, and garlic butter. Knead for 10–12 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic.
- Divide dough into 12 equal portions, shape into balls, and place them in the prepared pan. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1–2 hours.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg. Bake for 20–30 minutes until golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, prepare garlic butter by melting butter, cooking garlic for 1–2 minutes, and stirring in parsley.
- Brush the hot rolls with garlic butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Serve warm!
Notes
Notes
- For best results, measure flour using the spoon-and-level method or a kitchen scale.
- If using active dry yeast, activate it first in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days.
- Freeze for up to one month; reheat at 350°F for 10–15 minutes before serving.
