Garlic Swirl Rolls are soft, fluffy bread rolls filled with a fragrant garlic butter and fresh parsley mixture. This comforting homemade bread is perfect as a side dish for dinner or enjoyed on its own as a savory snack. The dough is enriched with eggs and butter, creating a tender crumb with a golden crust.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups warm milk (110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4–5 cups all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the surface and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is activated. Then add the melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, starting with 4 cups and adding more as needed, until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with the minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined and fragrant.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12 inches by 18 inches. Spread the garlic butter filling evenly over the surface of the dough. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Cut the log into 12 equal slices to form individual rolls.
  5. Final Rise and Bake: Place the rolls cut side up in a greased baking pan, leaving a little space between each roll. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffed. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and softness.

Notes

  • You can add extra garlic or parsley in the filling to adjust the flavor strength to your liking.
  • If you do not have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used but reduce the quantity slightly.
  • Make sure the milk is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast; 110°F is the perfect temperature.
  • For softer rolls, brush the tops with melted butter immediately after baking.
  • These rolls freeze well; wrap them tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw and warm before serving.
