Instructions
Creating these incredible Garlic Butter Dinner Rolls is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form.
4. Knead Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the dough is rising, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Set aside.
7. Shape Rolls: After the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Divide the dough into 12-16 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
8. Second Rise: Place the shaped rolls on a greased baking sheet, gathering them closer together. Cover and let them rise for 30 minutes.
9. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Add Garlic Butter: After the second rise, brush the rolls generously with the garlic butter mixture from earlier.
11. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
12. Finish with More Garlic Butter: Remove the rolls from the oven and brush with additional garlic butter while they are still warm.
