Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For Garlic Butter Glaze:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast:
In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy. - Make the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and melted butter. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. - Let the Dough Rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size. - Shape the Rolls:
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. - Second Rise:
Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes. - Bake the Rolls:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. - Prepare Garlic Butter Glaze:
While the rolls are baking, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and a pinch of salt, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Stir in fresh parsley if using. - Glaze the Rolls:
Once the rolls are out of the oven, immediately brush them generously with the garlic butter glaze.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a fresh taste.
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the garlic butter for an extra savory flavor.
