Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 package instant yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons) Ensure yeast is fresh.
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (around 110°F) Ensure water is not too hot.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Garlic Butter Topping
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Additional butter melted for brushing

Method
 

Preparing the Dough
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Gradually add the warm water and melted butter to the mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Kneading the Dough
  1. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
First Rise
  1. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size—about 1 hour.
Shaping the Rolls
  1. Once risen, punch the dough down and divide it into equal pieces (about 12-15). Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each.
Second Rise
  1. Cover the rolls again with a towel and let them rise for about 30 minutes until they puff up.
Preparing Garlic Butter
  1. While the rolls are rising, melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the chopped parsley.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the garlic butter mixture over the tops of the rolls, reserving some for later. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Brushing and Serving
  1. Once done, remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with the remaining garlic butter. Serve warm and enjoy!
