Savory Garlic Rolls

Step 1

Mix together the yeast and water. Measure 1/3 cup of sugar and add 2 Tablespoons from the measured sugar to the bowl. Whisk these together until the yeast is dissolved. Let the yeast stand for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Stir one cup of the flour into the yeast mixture. Set this aside.

Step 3

In the bowl of a stand mixer or in the food processor, add 2 cups of flour, the rest of the sugar, melted butter, milk, and salt.

Step 4

Process until the dough comes together. Add 1/4 cup of flour until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. You may have some flour left over.

Step 5

Put the dough in a bowl coated with cooking spray. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise and double about 2 hours.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, make the garlic butter. Mix together the butter, garlic, parsley, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 16 inches by 10 inches. Spread the dough with the garlic butter.

Step 8

I used a pizza cutter to cut the dough into strips.

Step 9

Roll the strips up and put them in the pan on their sides.

Step 10

Cover the pan with a towel and let rise for about 45 minutes.

Step 11

Once risen, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 12

Bake the garlic rolls in a preheated 375-degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
