Soft and fluffy garlic bread rolls packed with garlic flavor, both inside the dough and on top, perfect as a side or appetizer.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls

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

  1. Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. 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.
  3. In a stand mixer, combine flour, 3 tbsp parsley, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  4. 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.
  5. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces (~67g each), shape into balls, and pinch seams closed.
  6. Place shaped rolls in the prepared pan, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, 1–2 hours.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  8. Brush tops with beaten egg and bake for 20–30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. While baking, melt 2 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp minced garlic, cook briefly, stir in remaining parsley, and remove from heat.
  10. 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.
