Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup warm water (heated to ~105°F)
1 1/2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
2/3 cup whole milk
1 egg (room temperature and lightly whisked)
1 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
2 cups + 2 TBSP all-purpose flour (additional 2 TBSP as needed)
1-2 garlic cloves (minced, or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (finely chopped)
Salt flakes (to taste)

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a bread hook, combine warmed water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and combine it with lukewarm milk (microwave it for 30-60 seconds or let sit out while prepping the yeast). Add the milk mixture to the yeast in the stand mixer, along with the lightly whisked egg, and stir to combine. Add the salt and flour, mixing on medium speed until the dough is formed into a ball. The dough should be slightly sticky to the touch, but if your finger pulls away covered in dough, add an additional 2-4 tablespoons of flour in invervals, until incorporated (being careful to not add too much).
  • Lightly grease a large bowl and transfer the dough to it. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let the dough rise in a warm area for 1 hour.
  • Once the dough has risen, dump onto a well-floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes, moving quickly so the dough doesn't stick.
  • Use a kitchen scale to weigh the dough, then divide weight 8 to determine the weight of each individual roll (if you don't have a scale, cut dough into 8 evenly sized sections).
  • Take each section and pull down on the sides to create a ball, with the seam at the bottom. Then, seam side down, place the ball on the counter and cup your hand over the top. Move quickly in a circle to form a ball. Transfer the ball to around a cast-iron skillet (or a greased 10-inch circle pan). Cover with the tea towel again and let rise for another hour, until about doubled in size.
  • After rolls have risen for 30 minutes, begin preheating the oven to 375°F, while the dough continues to rise for the remainder of the time.
  • Remove the tea towel and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top and the internal temperature of the rolls reaches 200-205°F.
  • While the rolls bake, prepare the garlic herb butter by melting the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl with the garlic. Stir in the herbs. Set aside to allow the flavors to infuse.
  • Once the rolls are done, brush the butter mixture on top of the hot rolls. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt. Let them rest for about 10 minutes, and serve warm.

GARLIC HERB DINNER ROLLS

Homemade, freshly baked bread is always the best! These savory garlic herb dinner rolls are soft and tender, perfect for the dinner table

Provided by Tania

Categories     Breads

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup whole milk, warmed to 110-115 degrees F
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast ((equivalent to a 0.25 oz package))
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus 1 teaspoon
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped and patted dry
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 1/2 to 4 cups bread flour, plus more as needed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
3 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Pour warm milk (110 to 115 degrees F) into the bowl of stand mixer. See Notes below. Stir in 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and yeast, and let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy. This means that the yeast is good. If it does not get frothy, start over with fresh yeast.
  • Set up the dough hook attachment in the stand mixer. With the mixer on medium speed, beat in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, eggs, melted butter, garlic powder, and salt until evenly combined. You may need to break up the eggs with a whisk. Note: If you don't have a stand mixer, you can also follow steps 2 and 3 by hand - I'd recommend using a wooden spoon to mix everything.
  • With the mixer on medium-low speed, mix in 3 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the remaining flour in 1/4 cup increments as needed. I ended up using about 3 1/2 cups flour. Increase to high speed and mix until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should be slightly sticky, moist, and manageable. Then, on low speed, add the rosemary, parsley, and oregano until evenly incorporated.
  • Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead by hand for about 3-4 minutes, sprinkling more flour as necessary. The dough should be moist, slightly sticky, and should spring back slowly when poked. Do not over-knead.
  • Form dough into a ball and place on a lightly oiled bowl (I used olive oil), making sure to coat the dough with oil as well. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm environment for about 1 hour, until doubled in size. See note below ("how to create a warm environment for dough to rise").
  • After the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer to a clean non-floured surface. Cut the dough in half, and then cut each half into 6 equal pieces. Shape into balls, pinching the bottom with your fingers. Arrange in a greased 9x13 baking pan. Cover pan with plastic wrap and let it rise for another hour in a warm environment or until doubled in size.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic herb butter ingredients, and brush all over the risen buns. Bake 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly and serve. Enjoy!

BUTTERY HERBED DINNER ROLLS

Even if you use an electric mixer to make the dough, you'll have to shape the dough by hand-but it's one of the most fun jobs I can imagine, and it's easy too. Put one piece of dough on the work surface, cup your hand over it, and move it in a circular motion. Relax and enjoy-shaping a tender dough is one of life's natural stress relievers.

Time 6h5m

Yield 18 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup milk, warmed to about 110 degrees F
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for the bowl and pan
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for the bowl and pan
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the milk and yeast and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. With a fork, stir in the butter, sugar, salt and egg. With the mixer on low, add the flour and then the herbs. Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  • Lightly butter a large bowl. Transfer the dough to the bowl, then cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 4 hours, depending on the temperature of your house.
  • Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Transfer the dough to a work surface and cut into 18 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a tight ball. Transfer the dough balls to the prepared pan, spacing them evenly (rolls will touch once they have risen). Cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Finish the rolls: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Very gently brush the rolls with some melted butter and sprinkle with some flaky sea salt. Bake until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Brush with more melted butter and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast: Before starting the dough, ensure the yeast is active. Mix the yeast with warm water (110-115°F) and a pinch of sugar, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. This will help the yeast bloom and become active, resulting in a better rise for your rolls.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and chewiness. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise: After kneading, let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide, which will create air pockets in the dough.
  • Shape the rolls: Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal portions and shape them into rolls. You can shape them into classic round rolls, knots, or any other desired shape.
  • Proof the rolls: After shaping the rolls, let them proof for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size. This will give the yeast a final chance to rise and make the rolls light and fluffy.
  • Bake the rolls: Preheat your oven to the desired temperature and bake the rolls for the specified time. Keep an eye on the rolls to ensure they don't overcook.

Conclusion:

Fresh herb dinner rolls are a delicious and versatile side dish that can complement any meal. By incorporating fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or basil, you can add a burst of flavor and aroma to your rolls. These rolls are perfect for everyday dinners, special occasions, or as a delightful addition to your holiday table. Experiment with different herb combinations to create unique and flavorful rolls that will impress your family and friends.
