Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

- Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture over the rolls before baking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a cheesy twist, add shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese into the dough before shaping.
- For a sweeter version, brush the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar after baking.
