Ingredients
Garlic Rolls Ingredients
- 1 batch of pizza dough (about 12 ounces)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Take the pizza dough and divide it into equal portions, then shape each portion into a round roll. Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each roll to allow for expansion.
- Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the minced garlic and chopped parsley, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Brush rolls with garlic butter: Generously brush the tops of each roll with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring they are well coated to impart maximum flavor during baking.
- Bake the rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the garlic rolls on the middle rack for 15-20 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Serve warm: Remove the rolls from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then serve warm as a savory side or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh parsley with dried parsley if fresh is unavailable, using about 1 teaspoon dried.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
- Allow the rolls to cool for 5 minutes after baking to avoid burning your mouth and to help the texture set.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
