Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 3 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup whole or 2% milk, warmed to 110°F
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 beaten egg, for brushing the tops

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking pan: Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13 inch baking pan and set it aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Make garlic butter for dough: In a small pot, melt 4 1/2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and add 2 tablespoons minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat and let cool while preparing the other ingredients.
  3. Mix and knead dough: In a stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, fresh parsley, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Add warmed milk, the egg, and the cooled garlic butter mixture. Using a dough hook, knead on low speed until the dough is smooth, soft, and slightly tacky, about 10-12 minutes. Add flour one tablespoon at a time if too sticky.
  4. Shape rolls and proof: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions (approximately 67 grams each). Shape each piece into a smooth ball by pinching seams at the bottom. Place balls in the prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
  5. Preheat oven: Set the oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking.
  6. Brush with egg wash and bake: Brush the risen rolls with beaten egg for gloss and bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
  7. Make garlic butter topping: While baking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small pot, add 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley.
  8. Finish rolls: Out of the oven, immediately brush the rolls with the garlic butter. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the tops if desired. Serve warm for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use a kitchen scale for accuracy when dividing dough into portions to ensure even baking.
  • Adjust flour quantity as needed: dough should be soft and tacky but not overly sticky.
  • Ensure milk is warmed to 110°F to activate the yeast properly without killing it.
  • Allow rolls to rise in a warm place, like inside an off oven or near a radiator, to promote proper fermentation.
  • Brush with egg wash for a glossy, golden finish on the rolls.
  • Flaky sea salt adds a nice texture and salty contrast but can be omitted if desired.
