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 milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your rolls bake evenly and achieve a golden-brown color.
- 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 these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Make sure the butter is not too hot, as it could cook the other ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley to the dough. Fold these ingredients in carefully until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough for about 1 minute until it comes together. Form the dough into a log and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between each roll for expansion during baking.
- Optional: For an extra touch, you can brush the tops of the rolls with a little melted butter and sprinkle some additional Parmesan cheese or parsley on top before baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a roll; it should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm as a delicious side to your favorite meal or enjoy them on their own!
Tips
- Preheat Perfectly: Always preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before starting. This ensures that your rolls bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown crust.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir gently and avoid overmixing. A few lumps are perfectly fine; this will keep your rolls light and fluffy!
- Knead Lightly: Knead the dough just enough to bring it together—about a minute should do. Over-kneading can lead to dense rolls, so be gentle!
- Space It Out: When placing the rolls on the baking sheet, make sure to leave enough space between them. This allows for proper expansion while baking.
- Extra Flavor: For an added burst of flavor, brush the tops of your rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese or chopped parsley before baking.
- Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a roll to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, your rolls are ready to be devoured!
- Serve Warm: These rolls are best enjoyed warm right out of the oven. Pair them with your favorite meal or savor them on their own for a delightful snack!
