Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 2 cups warm milk (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4–5 cups all-purpose flour
For the Filling:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is activated. Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the mixture. Gradually incorporate flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm location for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough to release air. Roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×18 inch rectangle. Spread the garlic butter filling evenly over the surface. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log, then cut it into 12 equal pieces.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Cover and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until they become puffy.
- Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, add grated cheese such as Parmesan or mozzarella to the garlic butter filling before rolling.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh and warm, but they can be stored at room temperature for up to two days, kept in an airtight container.
