Pillowy soft dinner rolls brushed with garlic butter are the perfect addition to any meal.


Ingredients

Dinner Rolls

  • 3.54 cups (450–500 grams) bread flour*, spooned and leveled*
  • 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 ounce (7 gramsinstant yeast* (1 packet)
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk, warm, plus additional for brushing
  • 1/4 cup (56 gramsunsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together the flour, sugar, salt and instant yeast.
  2. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until the dough comes together, then continue mixing until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes more.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  4. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 15 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and arrange them in a greased 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Brush the rolls with milk and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Make the topping. Melt butter and mix it with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt.
  8. Spoon the garlic butter topping over the warm rolls as soon as they come out of the oven. Cover the dish with a kitchen towel until ready to serve to allow the flavors to soak in.

Notes

Measuring flour: I highly recommend using a kitchen scale to measure flour. If measuring by volume, use the spoon and level method to avoid over-measuring the flour. Lightly spoon flour into the measuring cup until it’s completely full. Then run the back of a knife over the cup to gently scrape off any excess.

Flour: All-purpose flour can be used in place of bread flour with no changes to the recipe. The rolls will be slightly less chewy, but still delicious!

Yeast: To substitute active dry yeast, stir the sugar into the warm milk and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes or until frothy. Then add to the dry ingredients with the butter and eggs.

Storage: For the best texture, store the baked rolls plain and brush with garlic butter before serving. They can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I recommend storing leftover rolls with garlic butter in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
