Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for filling)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional topping)
- Dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional topping)
Instructions
- Mix the warm milk and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Stir everything until the dough begins to come together.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Mix the softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a bowl.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle roughly 1/4-inch thick.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the dough, then roll it up tightly from the longer side.
- Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them into a greased baking dish, cut side up. Cover again and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen again, sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese and dried oregano if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the rolls are golden brown.
- Brush with any remaining garlic butter mixture for added flavor before serving.
Notes
