Ingredients
4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup whole or 2% milk warmed to 110ยฐF
1 large egg at room temperature
1 beaten egg for brushing the tops
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Flaky sea salt for finishing
Instructions
1-Warm the milk and activate yeast: Heat milk to 110ยฐF, stir in sugar and instant yeast. Let sit 5-10 minutes until foamy. This step kickstarts the rise for fluffy rolls.
2-Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk 3 1/2 cups flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons minced garlic. Add 3 tablespoons chopped parsley for fresh herb notes throughout.
3-Combine wet and dry: Add room-temperature egg, yeast mixture, and melted 4 1/2 tablespoons butter to dry ingredients. Stir until dough forms, then knead on floured surface using the extra 1 tablespoon flour. Knead 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4-First rise: Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in warm spot 1 hour until doubled. Patience here means softer texture.
5-Shape the rolls: Punch down dough, divide into 12-16 pieces, roll into balls. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, rise 20-30 minutes.
6-Prep for baking: Preheat oven to 375ยฐF. Brush tops with beaten egg for crispy shine. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden.
7-Add topping: Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon minced garlic and parsley. Brush hot rolls generously, sprinkle flaky sea salt. Serve warm.
