Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 3 cups 0.75 lb all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon 0.06 lb sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup 0.24 L warm water (110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons 0.1 lb olive oil

For the Garlic Butter

  • 4 tablespoons 0.2 lb unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley or fresh parsley chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  • Add the warm water and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Shape the Rolls

  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.
  • Place the dough balls on a greased baking sheet or in a 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving space between them for rising.
  • Cover with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter

  • While the rolls are rising, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Stir well and set aside.

Step 4: Bake the Rolls

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Brush the tops of the rolls generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  • Once out of the oven, brush the rolls with any remaining garlic butter. Serve warm alongside your favorite meal!

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
  • Freezer-Friendly: These rolls freeze well! Freeze after baking, then reheat in the oven when ready to serve.
  • Cheesy Option: Add shredded mozzarella or Parmesan on top of the rolls before baking for a cheesy garlic bread twist.
  • Make Ahead Tip: Prepare the dough the night before, refrigerate, and bake fresh in the morning.
