Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk Greek yogurt
Finishing Ingredients
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the rolls.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar until evenly combined.
- Add Yogurt: Stir in the Greek yogurt using a wooden spoon. The mixture will be lumpy and not smooth; avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
- Form Dough Ball: Transfer the mixture to a lightly floured surface. Gently knead and gather the dough into a thick round disk, adding 1-2 tablespoons of flour if it feels too sticky.
- Shape Rolls: Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball, smoothing out cracks with your hands.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet with some space between them. Whisk the egg and brush it over each roll for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake the rolls for 24-28 minutes, checking at 20 minutes and using a tester roll to ensure the insides are fully cooked. The rolls should be golden brown on top and bottom.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While the rolls bake, melt butter and mix in minced garlic and chopped parsley.
- Brush and Serve: After baking, let the rolls cool a few minutes. Brush the tops generously with garlic butter, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt and extra parsley as desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to ensure tender rolls.
- If the dough is sticky, add flour gradually—no more than 1-2 tablespoons.
- Use one roll as a tester during baking to check for doneness without overbaking the rest.
- Brush with garlic butter immediately after baking for best flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and warm before serving.
