Method

Preparing the Dough

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F) and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Add the activated yeast mixture. Gradually add this mixture to the flour and mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Shaping and Baking

  1. 6

    Shape the Rolls

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into equal pieces (about 12-15). Shape each piece into a ball.

  2. 7

    Second Rise

    Place the shaped rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover them with a cloth, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.

  3. 8

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. 9

    Bake the Rolls

    Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  5. 10

    Prepare Topping

    While the rolls are baking, melt the butter and combine it with garlic powder and parsley.

  6. 11

    Apply Topping

    Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture. Serve warm.
