Here is what you will love about these soft garlic rolls
- Easy to make! These rolls require one 45 minute rise. The “second” rise occurs while the oven preheats which takes roughly 10-15 minutes. These rolls only need one rise to produce soft, fluffy rolls. The milk, butter and egg in the dough helps the dough achieve a soft, fluffy texture.
- Perfect for cozy season – with the cozy fall season upon us, I can’t think of a better pairing for my numerous bowls of soup and bowls of pasta. I love add garlic rolls or dinner rolls in general along with my soup and pasta.
- Plenty of garlic flavor – the fresh garlic in the dough as well as on top in the garlic herb butter, makes these rolls have a delicious garlic flavor that is just enough, but not overpowering.

Soft Garlic Rolls
- Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
- Yield: 20 rolls 1x
Description
These soft, fluffy garlic rolls are made with fresh garlic in the dough, and are topped with a buttery, fresh garlic and herb butter. These rolls require one rise and can be made in roughly an hour. These rolls freeze well, too!
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed to 110F
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Egg Wash
- 1 egg, beaten
Garlic Butter
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the dough hook attachment, add the yeast, warm milk, bread flour, garlic, salt, egg and softened butter. Knead on medium-low speed 4 minutes. Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Spray the top of the dough with nonstick cooking spray, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
2. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, sunny place for 45 minutes. If you do not have a warm spot in your kitchen, you may turn your oven on. Once it reaches 100F, turn the oven off. Place the covered dough in the warm oven and allow to rise for 45 minutes.
3. Once the dough is done rising, punch the dough down, and divide into 20 roughly equal pieces of dough. Roll each piece into a ball, and place in a greased 9×13 inch pan. Allow the rolls to rest while the oven preheats.
4. Preheat the oven to 350F.
5. Once the oven is up to temperature, brush the beaten egg over the rolls. This helps the rolls achieve a nice golden brown color. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. While the rolls bake, make the garlic butter. In a medium size bowl, stir together the melted butter, salt, garlic powder, some fresh parsley and some grated parmesan cheese.
7. Once the rolls are done baking, brush the melted garlic butter over the rolls. Serve the rolls with additional freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired.
