To make these tasty Garlic Herb Dinner Rolls, gather the following ingredients: - 3 cups all-purpose flour - 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 tablespoon sugar - 1 cup warm water (110°F) - 3 tablespoons olive oil - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped - 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped - 1 teaspoon dried oregano - 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing) These ingredients work together to create soft, fluffy rolls.

Finally, brushing with melted butter gives a lovely shine and taste. Use these simple ingredients to create rolls that impress everyone at your table. {{ingredient_image_1}} Start by combining warm water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Make sure the water is about 110°F. This warmth helps the yeast wake up and get active. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it becomes frothy and bubbly. Next, add in the olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Stir this mix until a dough starts to form. Gradually add the rest of the flour. Keep mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Now, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead it for about 5 to 7 minutes. You want it to be smooth and elastic. While kneading, prepare your herb mix. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, and oregano. Once the herb mix is ready, knead it into the dough. Make sure it spreads evenly throughout. This will give the rolls their tasty flavor. After mixing in the herbs, form the dough into a ball. Place it in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size. Once risen, punch down the dough gently. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover the rolls again and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Before baking, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. This gives them a nice golden color. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Once baked, take them out and let them cool for a bit before serving. Enjoy the fresh, fluffy rolls! To get soft and fluffy rolls, kneading is key. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes. This builds gluten, which gives the rolls structure. Do not rush this step. Pay attention to how smooth the dough feels in your hands. Rising conditions also matter. Find a warm spot in your kitchen. I like to turn on the oven for a minute, then turn it off. Place the covered dough inside. This creates a cozy environment for the dough to rise. It should double in size in about an hour. Want to jazz up your rolls? You can add more herbs and spices. Try thyme or basil for a fresh twist. Feel free to mix in some crushed red pepper for a bit of heat. If you love garlic, you can adjust the intensity. Add more minced garlic if you want a stronger flavor. For a milder taste, use fewer cloves. Taste and tweak until it’s just right for you.

Pro Tips Kneading Technique: Ensure you knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic; this helps create a light and airy texture in your rolls. Flavor Boost: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese to the herb mixture before kneading it into the dough. Perfect Rising: If your kitchen is cool, preheat your oven to the lowest temperature for a few minutes, then turn it off. Place the dough inside to rise efficiently. Storage Tip: To keep the rolls fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze them in a resealable bag. {{image_2}} You can make these rolls extra yummy by adding cheese. I like to use mozzarella or cheddar. To do this, follow these steps: - Prepare the dough as usual. - After kneading in the herbs, flatten a piece of dough. - Place a small chunk of cheese in the center. - Fold the dough over the cheese and shape it into a roll. - Let it rise again before baking. This method gives you a gooey, cheesy surprise in each bite. For a healthier option, try whole wheat flour. It adds great flavor and nutrition. Replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. You may need a bit more water because whole wheat absorbs more moisture. Mix and knead as you would with the regular recipe. These rolls will still be soft and flavorful. If you need gluten-free rolls, use a gluten-free flour blend. Look for one that has xanthan gum added. This helps the rolls rise and hold their shape.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Yeast Mixture

Start by combining warm water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Make sure the water is about 110°F. This warmth helps the yeast wake up and get active. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it becomes frothy and bubbly.

Making the Dough

Next, add in the olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Stir this mix until a dough starts to form. Gradually add the rest of the flour. Keep mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Now, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead it for about 5 to 7 minutes. You want it to be smooth and elastic.

Incorporating Garlic and Herbs

While kneading, prepare your herb mix. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, and oregano. Once the herb mix is ready, knead it into the dough. Make sure it spreads evenly throughout. This will give the rolls their tasty flavor.

Rising and Shaping the Rolls

After mixing in the herbs, form the dough into a ball. Place it in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size. Once risen, punch down the dough gently. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover the rolls again and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Baking the Rolls

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Before baking, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. This gives them a nice golden color. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Once baked, take them out and let them cool for a bit before serving. Enjoy the fresh, fluffy rolls!

Tips & Tricks

Achieving the Perfect Roll Texture

To get soft and fluffy rolls, kneading is key. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes. This builds gluten, which gives the rolls structure. Do not rush this step. Pay attention to how smooth the dough feels in your hands.

Rising conditions also matter. Find a warm spot in your kitchen. I like to turn on the oven for a minute, then turn it off. Place the covered dough inside. This creates a cozy environment for the dough to rise. It should double in size in about an hour.

Flavor Enhancements

Want to jazz up your rolls? You can add more herbs and spices. Try thyme or basil for a fresh twist. Feel free to mix in some crushed red pepper for a bit of heat.

If you love garlic, you can adjust the intensity. Add more minced garlic if you want a stronger flavor. For a milder taste, use fewer cloves. Taste and tweak until it’s just right for you.

Serving Suggestions

Presentation is fun! Serve the rolls warm in a bread basket lined with a clean towel. This keeps them soft. For a classy touch, garnish with a sprig of rosemary or a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Variations

Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Herb Rolls

You can make these rolls extra yummy by adding cheese. I like to use mozzarella or cheddar. To do this, follow these steps:

– Prepare the dough as usual.

– After kneading in the herbs, flatten a piece of dough.

– Place a small chunk of cheese in the center.

– Fold the dough over the cheese and shape it into a roll.

– Let it rise again before baking.

This method gives you a gooey, cheesy surprise in each bite.

Whole Wheat Garlic Herb Rolls

For a healthier option, try whole wheat flour. It adds great flavor and nutrition. Replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. You may need a bit more water because whole wheat absorbs more moisture. Mix and knead as you would with the regular recipe. These rolls will still be soft and flavorful.

Gluten-Free Garlic Herb Rolls

If you need gluten-free rolls, use a gluten-free flour blend. Look for one that has xanthan gum added. This helps the rolls rise and hold their shape. Mix the dough as in the original recipe, but let it rise longer. Gluten-free dough can be stickier, so keep your hands floured. These rolls will still taste great with garlic and herbs.
