These garlic butter herb rolls are light, fluffy, and smell amazing! Ready in under 2 hours, these rolls with bring something special to your meal!
With the holidays coming up quick, I wanted to share this amazing roll recipe. I came up with this recipe because it’s nice to have something deliciously different now and then. These rolls are light, fluffy and best of all, you can make them start to finish in roughly 90 minutes. Sometimes it takes about 10 minutes more, but for the most part I can get them done in 90 minutes. Baked golden brown and brushed with garlic butter, these rolls will disappear quickly!
I like to use my mixer fitted with a dough hook to make breads and rolls and such, but you can make these by hand, too. To start, pour the warm water, yeast, and sugar into a large bowl. Give it a little stir and let it sit for 5 minutes and become foamy. Then stir in the softened butter, salt, italian seasoning and 3 cups of the flour. Mix well. Now you may not need the entire last cup of flour. Add it to the dough a 1/4 cup at a time until the dough comes together and is only slightly sticky to the touch. In the picture above you can see that the dough is still soft, but nearly cleans the sides of the mixing bowl. Knead the dough 5 minutes by hand or 3 minutes by mixer at a medium speed.
Cover the dough with a clean dish cloth, set in a warm, draft free spot and let rise until doubled. This will only take 20 to 30 minutes at the most.
Then dump the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll or pat it into a small rectangle. Then cut the dough into 15 pieces. I use a pizza cutter to do this. You may notice that my corners are a little smaller than a couple center pieces. I just took a little dough off the larger pieces and added them to the small ones to fix that.
Form each dough piece into a ball. Place them in a 9 x 13 baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cover and let rise for another 20 to 30 minutes until they are doubled in size. Preheat your oven while you wait for them to rise this time. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Once out of the oven. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then lightly brush the tops with the garlic butter. Serve and enjoy!!!

August 6, 2017 at 4:54 pmI did something terribly wrong. The dough did not rise nor did the rolls cook.

August 7, 2017 at 10:59 amI’m so sorry you had trouble with this recipe. My first thought is the yeast. My guess is that was old or that the water was too hot and killed it.

October 15, 2018 at 7:34 pmI made these for supper tonight….paired them with home made minestrone soup. They turned out beautifully and were very delicious! Thank! I am at sea level, so have to add a touch more yeast to get a good rise.
