2. Ingredients for Garlic Butter Bread Rolls

• 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• Additional melted butter for brushing

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for the Perfect Bread Rolls Recipe

Prepare the Yeast Mixture

In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. This activates the yeast, ensuring your bread rolls will rise beautifully. For a detailed guide on yeast activation, see our creamy pasta recipes.

Make the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the melted butter, minced garlic, and the frothy yeast mixture. Mix everything together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until it doubles in size. Proper proofing guarantees soft and fluffy bread rolls.

Shape the Bread Rolls

After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release excess air. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them evenly onto a greased or parchment-lined baking pan. For beautifully uniform rolls, consider using a KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer with a dough hook.

Second Proof

Cover the shaped rolls lightly with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes, until puffy and nearly doubled in size.

Bake the Rolls

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. For a more efficient baking experience, explore the Ninja Foodi Smart XL Indoor Grill & Air Fryer to get perfect results with less fuss.

Finish with Garlic Butter

As soon as they come out of the oven, brush the bread rolls generously with garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm for maximum flavor.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Garlic Bread Rolls

Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage. To revive the bread rolls, simply warm them in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes until soft and warm again. For quick and easy reheating, try the Ninja Air Fryer Pro.
