Description
Soft homemade dinner rolls brushed with garlic herb butter.
Ingredients
For the Dough
3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour – the foundation of light, tender rolls.
2¼ tsp (7g) instant yeast – makes them rise high and airy.
2 tbsp sugar – wakes up the yeast and balances the savory flavor.
1 tsp salt – every good bread needs balance.
¾ cup (180ml) warm milk – adds moisture and tenderness.
2 tbsp melted unsalted butter – a touch of richness.
1 large egg – for structure and a soft crumb.
3 cloves garlic, finely minced – the unmistakable star.
For the Garlic Herb Butter
¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, pressed or grated
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 pinch of salt

The Garlic Herb Finish
Notes
Use fresh garlic. Pre-minced garlic loses flavor quickly.
Don’t skip the rise. Rushing this step makes rolls dense.
Weigh your flour. Too much and your dough turns heavy.
Brush twice. Before baking for color, after baking for flavor.
Serve warm. The texture and aroma are best fresh from the oven.
