Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 4 1/2 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 3 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon (434 g) all-purpose flour, see notes for measuring
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup (225 g) whole or 2% milk, warmed to 110°F
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 beaten egg, for brushing the tops

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13 inch baking pan and set aside.
  2. Make Garlic Butter for Dough: In a small pot, melt 4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter and add 2 tablespoons minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat to cool while preparing other ingredients.
  3. Mix and Knead Dough: In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, chopped parsley, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Add warmed milk, one large room-temperature egg, and the cooled garlic butter mixture. Using the dough hook on low speed, knead for 10-12 minutes until a smooth, soft, and tacky dough forms. If too sticky, add flour tablespoon by tablespoon until workable.
  4. Shape Rolls: Divide dough into 12 equal portions (about 67 grams each). Shape each into smooth balls, pinching the seam at the bottom to keep tight. Place balls into the prepared pan.
  5. First Rise: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Place in a warm spot and let the dough rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours.
  6. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) to preheat while the dough finishes rising.
  7. Apply Egg Wash and Bake: Brush the tops of the risen rolls with the beaten egg. Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden brown on top.
  8. Prepare Garlic Butter Topping: While baking, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a pot with 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.
  9. Finish and Serve: When rolls come out of the oven, immediately brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the tops if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Measuring flour accurately by weight ensures consistent dough texture; spoon and level flour when measuring by volume.
  • If dough is sticky during kneading, add flour in small increments rather than all at once to avoid dry bread.
  • Allow the dough to fully double in size to achieve fluffy, light rolls.
  • Use warm milk heated to about 110°F to activate the yeast properly without killing it.
  • Brush the rolls with egg wash just before baking for a shiny, golden crust.
  • Serve garlic bread rolls warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
