Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Plastic wrap or kitchen towel
- Baking Sheet
- Pastry Brush
Ingredients
- 1 cup water (warm, about 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 to 3 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, garlic powder, dried basil, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
- Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add in the olive oil. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough begins to form.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- While the dough is rising, melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down. Divide into 12 pieces and shape each into a ball. Place on a baking sheet.
- Brush the melted garlic butter over each roll, reserving some for later.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until puffed up.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, brush the rolls with the remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- Store baked rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For a healthier option, replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- These rolls can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge before baking.
