Soft, buttery rolls infused with garlic and cheese, perfect for serving with soup or pasta. This recipe features a straightforward dough and easy proofing steps.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3 ½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in salt, melted butter, and beaten egg.
  3. Gradually add 3 ½ cups of flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if needed.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces.
  7. Shape each piece into a ball and place in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
  8. In a small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and parsley. Sprinkle evenly over the dough balls.
  9. Cover the pan and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. While rolls are baking, melt ¼ cup butter with 1 minced garlic clove and a pinch of salt.
  13. Brush the warm butter mixture over the hot rolls immediately after removing them from the oven.
  14. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For pull-apart rolls, you can shape the dough into ropes and twist them together before placing them in the pan.
  • Ensure your milk is the correct temperature; too hot will kill the yeast, too cold will prevent it from activating.
  • Proofing time can vary depending on the warmth of your kitchen.
