Ingredients

Scale
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (for garlic butter mixture)
  • 3–4 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
  • Extra flour for kneading
  • 1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast:
    Pour the warm milk into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and sprinkle the dry active yeast over the top. Stir lightly and allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes, until the surface becomes foamy.
  2. Mix the dough:
    Add the softened butter and salt to the activated yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, ½ cup at a time, mixing continuously until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough:
    Lightly flour a clean surface. Knead the dough by hand for 8–10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add a small amount of flour if the dough is sticky.
  4. First rise:
    Place the dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean towel and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Make the garlic butter:
    In a small pan, melt ¼ cup butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Set aside.
  6. Shape the rolls:
    Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8–10 equal portions. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place on a parchment-lined tray or greased baking dish.
  7. Second rise:
    Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for 20–30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  8. Apply egg wash:
    Mix egg yolk with 1 tablespoon milk. Brush the tops of the rolls gently with the mixture.
  9. Bake:
    Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and baked through.
  10. Brush with garlic butter:
    Once out of the oven, immediately brush the tops of the rolls with warm garlic butter for added flavor and moisture.
  11. Serve:
    Let the rolls cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite meals or enjoy on their own.

Notes

You may substitute the parsley with rosemary or thyme.

For added richness, stuff each dough ball with shredded cheese before baking.

For egg-free version, skip egg wash and use milk or melted butter only.
