Creating Garlic Bread Rolls is a rewarding experience. Follow these simple steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
3. Combine Mixtures: Once the yeast is activated, pour it into the dry ingredients along with melted butter. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Set aside.
7. Shape Rolls: After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll.
8. Second Rise: Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet or in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Brush with Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the rolls for a shiny finish.
11. Add Garlic Butter: Spoon the prepared garlic butter mixture over the rolls generously.
12. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
13. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving.
