Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your rolls bake evenly and come out perfectly golden brown.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter and 1/2 cup of milk. Stir until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 3 cloves of minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley into the dough. Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough for about 1 minute until it comes together. Again, be careful not to over-knead.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. You can do this by cutting the dough into quarters and then cutting each quarter into thirds.
- Shape each portion into a ball by rolling it between your palms. Place the balls of dough into a greased skillet or a baking dish, ensuring they are close together but not touching.
- Once all the dough balls are in the skillet, brush the tops with a little melted butter for extra flavor and a beautiful golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the rolls cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 375°F for even baking and that golden-brown top.
- Don't Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense rolls.
- Fresh is Best: Use freshly grated Parmesan and freshly minced garlic for the most vibrant flavor profile.
- Spacing Technique: Place dough balls close together in the skillet, but not touching, to help them rise and create a beautiful pull-apart texture.
- Butter Brush: The final butter brush before baking adds incredible flavor and helps achieve that gorgeous golden finish.
- Serve Immediately: These rolls are best enjoyed warm, straight from the skillet, when the cheese is melty and the garlic is fragrant.
