Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 4.5 tablespoons unsalted butter adds moisture and richness
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic provides strong, savory flavor
  • 3.5 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour gives structure and texture
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley adds fresh flavor and color
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar helps with browning and flavor
  • 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast aids in leavening the rolls
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt enhances overall flavor
  • 1 cup whole or 2% milk, warmed to 110°F provides moisture and helps activate yeast
  • 1 large egg, room temperature binds ingredients
  • 1 beaten egg for brushing the tops adds shine and color

For the Garlic Butter

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for richness
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic enhances flavor
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley adds a fresh touch
  • to taste pinch flaky sea salt for finishing

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar, stir gently until dissolved, then add instant yeast and let sit for about five minutes until foamy.
  • Add the room temperature egg, melted butter, and fine sea salt to the mixture, and stir until well combined.
  • Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, starting with a cup at a time, and stir until the dough begins to come together.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about six to eight minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm area for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  • After the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a log shape. Cut into equal pieces to form individual rolls.
  • Shape each piece of dough into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.

Baking

  • While the rolls are rising, prepare the garlic butter by mixing melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Brush the tops of the risen rolls with the beaten egg and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
  • Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and brush with the garlic butter mixture while still warm.
  • Let the rolls cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. They freeze well for up to 3 months.
