Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup 240g whole milk, warmed to around 110F
  • 3 tsp active dry yeast or instant yeast
  • 1/3 cup 70g sugar
  • 3 3/4 cups 490g all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp 85g unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • Egg wash: 1 egg yolk and 1 tbsp milk
  • Garlic butter:
  • 1/4 cup 57g salted butter
  • 2-3 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
  • 1 cup 240g whole milk, warmed to around 110F
  • 3 tsp active dry yeast or instant yeast
  • 1/3 cup 70g sugar
  • 3 3/4 cups 490g all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp 85g unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • Egg wash: 1 egg yolk and 1 tbsp milk

Garlic butter:

  • 1/4 cup 57g salted butter
  • 2-3 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix the warm milk with the yeast.
  • Add all the other ingredients for the dinner rolls into the same bowl.
  • Stir the ingredients until they form a shaggy dough.
  • Transfer the dough onto a clean surface and knead with a push-pull motion using your palms for about 15 minutes. The dough will be sticky at first but will become smooth and stretchy with kneading.
  • Place the dough in a large clean bowl sprayed with a little oil. Cover with cling wrap and let it rise in a warm, humid spot until it doubles in size, about 90 minutes.
  • Once risen, punch the dough down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a tight, smooth ball.
  • Line a 9x13" baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rolls on it with even spacing.
  • Mix the egg yolk and milk to make the egg wash. Brush the rolls generously with the egg wash.
  • Let the rolls rise a second time in a warm spot for 30-45 minutes until they puff up.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F (conventional) in the last 20 minutes of rising.
  • Brush the risen rolls with another generous coating of the egg wash.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes until the rolls have a shiny golden crust.
  • For the garlic butter, melt the butter in a saucepan, add the garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and mix in the parsley.
  • Brush the hot rolls with the garlic butter.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For a richer flavor, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the rolls before baking.
