Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg. Stir until well mixed.

  4. 4

    Combine All Ingredients

    Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the dry ingredients along with the wet mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form.

  5. 5

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  6. 6

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shaping and Baking

  1. 7

    Shape the Rolls

    After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

  2. 8

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Place the shaped rolls in the pan, leaving some space between each one.

  3. 9

    Second Rise

    Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, until they have doubled in size.

  4. 10

    Preheat Oven

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

  5. 11

    Bake the Rolls

    Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  6. 12

    Prepare Topping

    While the rolls are baking, mix the softened butter, sea salt, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl.

  7. 13

    Apply Topping

    As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them with the topping mixture for added flavor.

  8. 14

    Cool and Serve

    Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
