Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk, warmed
- 1 Tablespoon yeast, instant or active dry
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 Tablespoons butter, softened or melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons butter, melted
For garlic rolls
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add the warmed milk, yeast, and sugar. Mix on low speed until combined. Let rest 5 minutes. At the end of the 5 minutes, the mixture should be foamy.
- Add the 2 Tablespoons softened or melted butter, salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (if making garlic butter rolls), and 3 cups flour. Mix on low speed until well combined. Continue mixing, adding 1/4 cup flour at a time (up to 1 additional cup) until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Err on the side of not adding enough flour vs. adding too much. Knead with the mixer for 3-5 minutes.
- Cover dough (I use a flour sack towel) and let rise 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9" x 13" pan or line with parchment paper. Scrape dough from bowl onto a well-floured surface. (I love my Pampered Chef shaker for this, but this one is less expensive.) The dough will be soft. Divide the dough into 20 pieces (I use a dough scraper.) and gently roll each piece into a ball. (They don't have to be perfect!)
- Transfer each ball of dough to the prepared pan. They will usually touch, but its ok if they don't. Brush with melted butter. If making garlic rolls, mix melted butter with remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and parsley. Brush mixture on rolls. Sprinkle with additional salt.
- Let rolls rise another 15 minutes. They will rise even more in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until browned to your liking. Try not to eat the whole pan in one sitting!
