Soft, pillowy homemade dinner rolls infused with mellow roasted garlic flavor, perfect for cozy dinners and easy to make from scratch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups (420 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp (7 g) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm whole milk
  • 3 tbsp (45 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp (9 g) salt
  • 2 medium garlic heads, roasted
  • 3 tbsp (45 g) melted butter, for brushing
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or thyme), chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice tops off garlic heads, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, cover with foil, and roast for about 40 minutes until soft and golden. Let cool.
  2. Warm milk to about 110°F (43°C). Stir in sugar and yeast. Let sit 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add softened butter, then pour in yeast mixture.
  4. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves from skins and mash into a smooth paste. Add to dough and mix until shaggy dough forms.
  5. Knead dough by hand or mixer for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add flour if too sticky.
  6. Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in warm spot for 1 to 1 ½ hours until doubled.
  7. Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces (~2.5 oz each). Shape into balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Cover rolls loosely and let rise 30-45 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled.
  9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush rolls with melted butter and sprinkle herbs if using.
  10. Bake rolls 18-22 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
  11. Remove from oven and immediately brush with melted butter. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Roasting garlic mellows its sharpness and adds a sweet, caramelized flavor. Knead dough until elastic but not sticky. Keep dough warm during rising for best results. Brush rolls with melted butter before and after baking for a tender crust. Rolls can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
