Instructions
Creating these garlic bread rolls can be a straightforward process if you follow these steps:
1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
2. Add Warm Water: Gradually pour in the warm water, stirring until a dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the dough rises, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
6. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal pieces, rolling each piece into a ball.
7. Fill with Garlic Butter: Flatten each ball slightly, place about 1 teaspoon of the garlic butter mixture in the center, and then fold the dough over to seal it. Roll it back into a ball.
8. Second Rise: Place the filled rolls seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.
9. Preheat Oven: During the second rise, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Bake Rolls: Once risen, bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Brush with Remaining Garlic Butter: After removing the rolls from the oven, brush them with any remaining garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
12. Cool Slightly Before Serving: Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm!
