Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup Warm Water (around 110°F)
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary, minced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced or roasted
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil or melted Butter
  • ¼ cup Milk (optional)

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in warm water (about 110°F). Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy, signaling the yeast is active.
  2. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, minced rosemary, and garlic. Add the yeast mixture along with melted butter or olive oil, and milk if using. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer onto a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and less sticky. Kneading develops gluten for a light, airy texture.
  4. First Rise: Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough gently and divide into 12 equal portions. Shape each into a smooth ball and nestle close together in a greased baking pan.
  6. Second Rise: Cover the pan and let the rolls rise again for 30 to 45 minutes until puffed up.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown on top. Immediately brush with melted butter for extra shine and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh rosemary for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Don’t skip kneading to ensure a soft crumb.
  • Ensure water temperature is around 110°F to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Brush rolls with melted butter right after baking to maintain moisture and add richness.
  • Let rolls cool for 10 minutes before slicing to preserve fluffy texture.
