Ingredients
4½ tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp minced garlic (divided)
3½ cups + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (divided)
1 tbsp granulated sugar
2¼ tsp instant yeast
1 tsp fine sea salt
1 cup whole or 2% milk, warmed to 110°F
1 large egg, room temperature
1 beaten egg (for brushing tops)
2 tbsp unsalted butter (for finishing garlic butter)
Flaky sea salt (for finishing)
Instructions
- Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Melt 4½ tbsp butter in a small pot, stir in 2 tbsp minced garlic, cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat and let cool.
- In a stand mixer, combine flour, 3 tbsp parsley, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Add warm milk, egg, and cooled garlic butter. Knead on low speed for 10–12 minutes until dough is smooth and slightly tacky. Add more flour if necessary.
- Divide dough into 12 equal pieces (~67g each), shape into balls, and pinch seams closed.
- Place shaped rolls in the prepared pan, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, 1–2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Brush tops with beaten egg and bake for 20–30 minutes until golden brown.
- While baking, melt 2 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp minced garlic, cook briefly, stir in remaining parsley, and remove from heat.
- Brush baked rolls with garlic butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve warm.
Notes
- Let garlic butter cool before adding to dough to avoid greasiness.
- For make-ahead, shape rolls and refrigerate for up to 12 hours before baking.
- Store cooled rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Freeze individually wrapped rolls for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes, optionally brushing with garlic butter afterward.
