Making Garlic Butter Bread Rolls is a breeze! With a prep time of just about 10 minutes and baking time of around 20 minutes, you’ll have fresh, warm rolls ready to enjoy in no time. The process is simple yet satisfying, highlighting the rich flavor of garlic and the comforting texture of freshly baked bread. Let’s dive in!

Key Ingredients for Garlic Butter Bread Rolls

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup warm water
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of instant yeast, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Slowly stir in ¾ cup of warm water and melted butter. Mix until a messy dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
4. Let the Dough Rise: Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes until it doubles in size.
5. Shape the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small portions (about 8-10). Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet.
6. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, and mix in 3-4 cloves of minced garlic.
7. Brush and Bake: Brush the garlic butter over the shaped rolls and bake them in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Finish with Garnish: Optional—sprinkle the warm rolls with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color!

What to Serve Garlic Butter Bread Rolls With

Garlic Butter Bread Rolls are incredibly versatile! They pair beautifully with a range of dishes, adding a delightful touch of flavor. Serve them alongside a creamy Tomato Soup for a comforting meal, or with a fresh Garden Salad for a light lunch. They even complement hearty casseroles or main dishes like Roasted Chicken or Beef Stroganoff?

Top Tips for Perfecting Garlic Butter Bread Rolls

• Yeast Activation: Ensure your warm water isn’t too hot—ideally around 110°F (43°C)—to prevent killing the yeast.
• Flavor Boost: For an extra kick, experiment by adding grated Parmesan cheese to the dough or sprinkle some on top before baking.
• Don’t Skip the Rise: A longer rise produces fluffier rolls, so let them rise longer if possible.

Storing and Reheating Tips

To store your Garlic Butter Bread Rolls, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you want to enjoy them later, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to consume, simply reheat them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.
