Herby Dinner Rolls
Simple, delicious and a perfect addition to any dinner plate!
Ingredients
- ¾ cups whole milk 105-110 degrees F
- 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar divided into two
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter softened or at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary divided
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour divided
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1 garlic cloves minced
Instructions
- In a bowl add your warm milk, yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar and let stand until foamy for about 5 minutes.
- Whisk softened butter, 1 tablespoon rosemary, salt and 1 tablespoon sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in your egg until well combined and add your yeast mixture and 1 1/4 cups flour and whisk or use a wooden spoon to stir until smooth.
- Add your remaining flour (1 1/2 cups) 1/2 a cup at a time, until a soft, smooth ball of dough is formed.
- Knead for about 6 minutes until a smooth ball forms.
- The dough should be slightly tacky to touch.
- Lightly grease a large bowl but butter or oil a large bowl and place dough into the bowl, turning to coat in butter or oil.
- Cover with a clean dish cloth and keep in a warm place for about 45 minutes until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough to deflate and roll into a 10 inch rope. Cut your rope into 10 1 inch pieces, flatten then pinch into a ball making sure to properly seal the pinched end.
- Lightly oil a 10-inch cast iron skillet or coat with nonstick spray and place your dough balls into the prepared skillet.
- Cover with a clean dish towel and let stand in a warm spot until the dough has doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
- While the dough is resting for the second time, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brush your balls of dough with melted butter and sprinkle with rosemary before baking for 20-24 minutes until golden brown.
- When your buns are in the oven, mix your remaining melted butter with minced garlic and brush your buns with garlic-butter when they come out and finish with flaky sea salt and serve warm.
Notes
This entire recipe can be made using a stand mixer. I just love making dough by hand but please feel free using a stand mixer with slightly reduced kneading times.
