All-purpose flour does work well and is a suitable substitute.<\/li>\nInstant Yeast.<\/strong> Instant yeast creates a reliable rise without needing to proof first. Active dry yeast may be substituted but it will need to be proofed. Expect the dough to rise a little more slowly.

There\u2019s nothing quite like pulling a pan of warm homemade rolls from the oven, especially when they\u2019re brushed with buttery garlic herb butter and served fresh with dinner. These garlic dinner rolls aren\u2019t your average dinner roll. They\u2019re soft, fluffy, and rich with buttery flavor, with just enough chew to give them the satisfying texture of a bakery roll.<\/p>\n
The garlic flavor is built into the dough, then finished with a simple garlic butter that makes every bite even more flavorful. During recipe testing, Preston kept saying these reminded him of the garlic breadsticks served at Olive Garden, but with the flavor and texture you\u2019d expect from homemade bread.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve never baked with yeast before, don\u2019t let that stop you. We developed this recipe to be approachable for beginners, with clear visual cues that help you know what the dough should look and feel like every step of the way. By the time these rolls come out of the oven, you\u2019ll have a pan of homemade bread that\u2019s worthy of everything from weeknight pasta dinners<\/a> to your Thanksgiving table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\nWhy You\u2019ll Love This Recipe<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n<\/svg><\/span>Bakery-style texture.<\/strong> Soft, tender rolls with a delicate chew and pull-apart crumb that\u2019s hearty enough for holiday meals.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/svg><\/span>Moderate garlic flavor.<\/strong> Garlic powder seasons the dough from the inside, while warm garlic herb butter finishes the rolls with another layer of flavor.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/svg><\/span>Made with simple ingredients.<\/strong> No preservatives or artificial ingredients. This recipe uses pantry staples that create rich homemade flavor.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/svg><\/span>Beginner-friendly.<\/strong> Every step includes visual and tactile cues so you\u2019ll know what to look for, even if this is your first yeast dough.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/svg><\/span>Perfect for holidays and family dinners.<\/strong> These rolls pair beautifully with everything from roast turkey and ham to pasta<\/a>, soup<\/a>, chowder<\/a>, and salads<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/svg><\/span>Great for Making Ahead.<\/strong> They stay soft for days and freeze beautifully.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIngredients at a Glance<\/h2>\n<\/figure>\nDough<\/h3>\n\nBread Flour.<\/strong> Bread flour gives the rolls their soft, bakery-style texture with just a little chew. We tested both bread flour and all-purpose flour and preferred the bread flour version for its richer texture. All-purpose flour does work well and is a suitable substitute.<\/li>\nInstant Yeast.<\/strong> Instant yeast creates a reliable rise without needing to proof first. Active dry yeast may be substituted but it will need to be proofed. Expect the dough to rise a little more slowly. See Note 2 in the recipe card below for more information.<\/li>\nGranulated Sugar.<\/strong> Granulated sugar adds a touch of sweetness while helping feed the yeast.<\/li>\nTable Salt.<\/strong> Salt enhances the overall flavor and strengthens the dough.<\/li>\nGarlic Powder.<\/strong> Garlic powder evenly distributes garlic flavor throughout every roll.<\/li>\nWhole Milk.<\/strong> Warm whole milk adds richness and tenderness. You can substitute two percent milk.<\/li>\nWater.<\/strong> Warm water helps hydrate the dough.<\/li>\nUnsalted Butter.<\/strong> Unsalted butter contributes buttery flavor and a tender crumb. Unsalted butter is used to control the amount of salt in the recipe. If using salted butter, reduce the added salt slightly.<\/li>\nEgg.<\/strong> One large egg enriches the dough and helps create its soft interior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/figure>\nGarlic Butter Topping<\/h3>\n\nUnsalted Butter.<\/strong> Unsalted butter creates a rich, buttery finish.<\/li>\nFresh Garlic.<\/strong> Fresh garlic infuses the butter with mellow garlic flavor without overpowering the rolls.<\/li>\nFresh Parsley.<\/strong> Parsley adds flavor and color. Dried parsley works if that\u2019s what you have on hand.<\/li>\nTable Salt.<\/strong> Salt brings all of the flavors together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHow to Make Them (Photo Tutorial)<\/h2>\n\n\nAdd the bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and garlic powder to a mixer bowl.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\nWhisk together until combined.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAdd the warm milk, warm water, softened butter, and egg to the dry ingredients.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\nMix until a rough, shaggy dough comes together, then let it rest for 5 minutes before kneading.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nKnead until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and only slightly tacky to the touch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\nCover and let the dough rise.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nLet rise until doubled in size.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\nGently punch down the risen dough to release excess air before dividing and shaping it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nShape each portion into a smooth ball by pinching the seams underneath.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\nRoll the dough gently against the work surface to create a smooth, round roll.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nPlace the shaped dough balls into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\nMelt the butter over low heat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAdd the garlic and cook gently until fragrant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\nStir in the parsley and seasonings, then remove from the heat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBrush the warm rolls generously with the garlic butter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\nServe warm while the rolls are soft and the garlic butter is still fresh.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nTips for Success<\/h2>\n\nDon\u2019t rush the rise.<\/strong> Rise times are only estimates. The temperature of your kitchen, the freshness of your yeast, and even the humidity can affect how quickly the dough rises. Watch for the visual cues in the recipe instead of relying solely on the clock.<\/li>\nDon\u2019t add too much flour.<\/strong> This is the most common mistake. The dough will look sticky at first, but it becomes smoother as it\u2019s kneaded. Adding too much flour too early can make the rolls heavier and less tender.<\/li>\nPay attention while proofing.<\/strong> Avoid over- or under-proofing.<\/strong> Under-proofed rolls will be dense, while over-proofed rolls may collapse or bake up with a coarse texture. The poke test described in the instructions is the most reliable way to know when the dough is ready.<\/li>\nUse an instant-read thermometer.<\/strong> Baking the rolls to 190 F (88 C)<\/strong> ensures they\u2019re fully baked without drying them out.<\/li>\nBrush with garlic butter while warm.<\/strong> The warm rolls absorb the butter beautifully, creating a richer flavor and helping keep the tops soft and tender.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\nVariations Suggestions<\/h2>\n\nClassic Dinner Rolls.<\/strong> Omit the garlic powder from the dough and brush the baked rolls with melted butter instead of garlic butter.<\/li>\nExtra Herby.<\/strong> Add chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, or chives to the garlic butter for additional flavor.<\/li>\nParmesan Garlic Rolls.<\/strong> Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered rolls while they\u2019re still warm.<\/li>\nEverything Dinner Rolls.<\/strong> Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning (see our recipe for high protein bagels<\/a> for a homemade recipe for everything bagel seasoning) over the garlic butter before serving for extra crunch and flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nMake Ahead Information<\/h3>\nThese garlic dinner rolls are at their very best served fresh from the oven, but they can<\/em> be made ahead.<\/p>\n\nBake Up to 1 Day Ahead.<\/strong> Allow the rolls to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
