Equipment

  • large bowl
  • clean surface
  • baking sheet
  • pastry brush
  • saucepan
  • clinging wrap

Ingredients
  

Dinner rolls

  • 1 cup whole milk warm (around 110F)
  • 3 teaspoons active dry yeast or instant yeast
  • cup sugar
  • 3 ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon milk egg wash

Garlic butter

  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • 2-3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, stir together the warm milk with the yeast.
  • Add all the other ingredients for the dinner rolls to the same bowl.
  • Use a large bowl to stir together the ingredients until they form a shaggy dough.
  • Turn out onto a clean surface, and knead with a push-pull motion using your palms for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a large clean bowl sprayed with a little oil. Cover with cling wrap and place in a warm, humid spot to let the dough rise until it at least doubles in size.
  • Once risen, punch the dough and turn it out onto a clean surface. Divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  • Roll each piece into a tight, smooth ball.
  • Line a 9x13" baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the rolls on the sheet with even space between them.
  • Mix the egg yolk and milk in a small bowl to make the egg wash, and use a pastry brush to generously brush the rolls with the egg wash.
  • Allow the rolls to rise a second time in a warm spot for 30-45 minutes until they are puffy.
  • In the last 20 minutes, preheat the oven to 350F (conventional).
  • Once the rolls are risen, brush them with another generous coating of the egg wash.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes until the rolls have a beautiful shiny golden crust on them.
  • To make the garlic butter, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes. Then turn off the heat and mix in the parsley.
  • Brush the rolls with garlic butter while they're still hot.
  • Serve & enjoy!

Notes
