Scale
- For the Dough:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp salt
- For the Garlic Butter:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast – In a small bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Make the Dough – In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add melted butter and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead & Rise – Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls – Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each roll. Cover and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
- Make Garlic Butter – In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
- Bake – Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the rolls with half of the garlic butter. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Finish & Serve – Brush the warm rolls with the remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm!

- You can use store-bought dough to save time.
