Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups warm water (105-115°F)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 ½ – 5 cups all-purpose flour
- For the Garlic Butter Topping:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Whisk in eggs and melted butter.
- Add salt and 3 cups of flour. Mix until just combined.
- Gradually add remaining flour, about ½ cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down dough and divide into 12-16 equal portions. Shape into rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- While rolls are rising, prepare the garlic butter topping: Cream together softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt.
- Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately brush the warm garlic butter topping over the hot rolls.
- Serve your irresistible garlic butter bread warm.
Notes
- Ensure your water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
- Kneading develops gluten, which gives the bread its structure and chew.
- A warm draft-free place is ideal for dough rising.
- The garlic butter topping melts and soaks into the hot rolls for maximum flavor.
