Print Recipe

Golden, fluffy, and drenched in buttery garlic flavor, these homemade garlic bread rolls are the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Whether you’re serving them alongside your favorite pasta dish or enjoying one straight from the pan, each bite is soft, warm, and rich with garlicky goodness.

Ingredients

Let’s walk through what you’ll need to bring these garlicky gems to life:

  • All-purpose flour – Provides structure without making the rolls dense.

  • Instant yeast – No need to activate beforehand, it’s mixed right in.

  • Granulated sugar – Feeds the yeast and adds a touch of sweetness.

  • Salt – Balances flavors and enhances everything.

  • Whole milk – Warm it slightly to help the yeast thrive.

  • Unsalted butter – Used in both the dough and garlic mixture.

  • Fresh garlic – Key ingredient for that unmistakable taste.

  • Egg – Adds richness and binds the dough.

  • Chopped parsley – Adds a pop of green and fresh flavor.

  • Egg wash – For that glossy, golden finish.

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Garlic Butter

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and stir until fragrant—about 1–2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in chopped parsley.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix in the warm milk, beaten egg, and half of the garlic butter. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, around 8–10 minutes with a mixer or 12–15 minutes by hand.

Step 3: First Rise

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 4: Shape the Rolls

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball. Arrange them evenly in a greased baking dish.

Step 5: Second Rise

Cover the pan and let the rolls rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.

Step 6: Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the rolls with an egg wash. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and set.

Step 7: Finish with Garlic Butter

While still warm, brush the remaining garlic butter over the top. Serve them fresh and hot.

Notes

  • Add cheese for a twist. Shredded parmesan or mozzarella can be sprinkled over the rolls before baking for extra indulgence.

  • These rolls freeze beautifully. Bake, cool, and freeze them in a zip-top bag. Reheat at 350°F wrapped in foil for fresh-from-the-oven taste.
