  • Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 3 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon (434 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup (225 g) whole or 2% milk, warmed to 110°F
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 beaten egg, for brushing the tops

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking pan: Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch baking pan and set aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Make garlic butter for dough: In a small pot, melt 4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter and add 2 tablespoons minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat and let cool while you assemble other ingredients.
  3. Mix and knead the dough: In a stand mixer bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon flour, chopped parsley, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Add warmed milk, room temperature egg, and the cooled garlic butter mixture. Knead with dough hook on low speed for 10-12 minutes until dough is smooth, soft, and slightly tacky. If sticky, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time until manageable.
  4. Shape the rolls: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions (about 67 grams each). Shape each into smooth balls by pinching the seams on the bottom to tighten. Place rolls evenly spaced in prepared baking pan.
  5. Proof the dough: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and allow rolls to rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) while rolls are proofing.
  7. Apply egg wash: Brush the tops of the risen rolls evenly with the beaten egg to promote a shiny golden crust.
  8. Bake the rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped.
  9. Prepare garlic butter topping: While rolls are baking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small pot, add 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.
  10. Finish rolls: Once baked, immediately brush the hot rolls generously with the garlic butter topping, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Measure flour carefully by spooning into the cup and leveling with a knife for best results.
  • If dough is too sticky during kneading, add flour gradually a tablespoon at a time.
  • Use a scale for evenly sized rolls to ensure consistent baking.
  • Allowing the rolls to rise fully before baking ensures a soft, fluffy texture.
  • For extra flavor, use fresh garlic and parsley in both dough and topping.
