Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 4 to 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top before baking
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, gently heat the whole milk and 1/4 cup of the unsalted butter until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour and kosher salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture along with the egg.
- Stir in the minced garlic and chopped fresh herbs. If the dough seems too sticky, gradually add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead on medium speed using a dough hook for about 5-7 minutes.
- Grease a large bowl with a little bit of the leftover melted butter. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area until it doubles in size, about 1-2 hours.
- Punch down the dough to release the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each roll.
- Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Before baking, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness of your Garlic Herb Parker House Rolls!
