Homemade Garlic Herb Dinner Rolls
Ingredients:
– 1 cup warm water (around 110°F)
– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 large egg
– 1 tsp salt
– 3 – 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
– 1/2 tsp dried oregano
– 1/2 tsp dried thyme
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– Additional melted butter for brushing
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
2. Add the melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
3. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. You may need to adjust the amount slightly depending on the humidity of your kitchen. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
8. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, parsley, oregano, thyme, and black pepper. Sprinkle this herb mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
9. Starting from one end, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
10. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
11. Brush the risen rolls with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
12. Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with more melted butter while they are still warm. Enjoy these Homemade Garlic Herb Dinner Rolls fresh out of the oven for the ultimate comfort food experience!
