Ingredients
- 4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
*See notes below for measuring*
- 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
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- flaky sea salt
for finishing
Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C. Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13 pan and set it aside.

In a small pot, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant. Take off the heat and cool while you measure the other ingredients.

In a stand mixing bowl, combine the flour, parsley, sugar, yeast, and salt. Then add the warmed milk, egg, and garlic butter. Knead on low speed with the dough hook until the dough looks smooth and feels soft and tacky, about 10-12 minutes. *If the dough is too sticky, add one tablespoon of flour at a time until you have a workable dough.

Cut the kneaded dough into 12 equal portions (use a scale for accuracy- 67 grams each). Shape each piece of dough into a smooth ball with your hand. Pinch the bottom of the roll where the seam comes together to keep it tight. Then place the shaped dough balls into the prepared baking pan. Cover the top with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and set them in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours. *Watch the video below for visual aid!

Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg wash. Then bake the dinner rolls for 20-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- 6
While the rolls are baking, make the garlic butter. Melt the butter in a pot and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Then remove it from the heat and stir in the parsley. When the rolls come out of the oven, immediately brush them with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and serve warm!

About this Recipe
Tired of store-bought garlic bread that lacks that fresh, homemade touch? Imagine biting into warm, fluffy rolls bursting with robust garlic and herb flavor, straight from your oven. These Garlic Bread Rolls deliver that restaurant-quality experience right in your kitchen.
What sets these homemade garlic bread rolls apart is the double dose of garlic: fresh minced garlic is kneaded right into the dough, ensuring every bite is infused with savory flavor. Then, after baking, they're generously brushed with even more garlic herb butter, guaranteeing an irresistible aroma and taste that humble dinner rolls simply can't match.
Prepare for a truly indulgent experience. These rolls are wonderfully soft and fluffy on the inside, with a beautiful golden-brown exterior brushed with aromatic garlic herb butter. The intense savory flavor from both the dough and the topping makes them incredibly addictive, and the aroma alone will have everyone rushing to the table. While they do require some time for the dough to develop, the hands-on effort is minimal, culminating in a deeply satisfying homemade treat.
Want to tailor these delicious rolls to your pantry? While fresh parsley adds a vibrant note, you could use dried parsley in the finishing butter if fresh isn't available, though the flavor will be milder. If you only have 1% milk, it can be substituted for the whole or 2% milk, resulting in a slightly less rich but still delicious roll. For an extra savory kick, a touch more minced garlic in the finishing butter would always be welcome.
These garlic bread rolls are the ultimate companion to almost any meal. Serve them warm alongside a hearty pasta dish, a comforting bowl of soup, or as a flavorful side for your Sunday roast. They're perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests, adding a gourmet touch that feels truly special.
