Ingredients

Scale

1 cup warm whole milk
3 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/3 cup sugar
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1.5 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup salted butter for garlic topping
2–3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1–2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast; let it sit until frothy.
Add sugar, flour, egg, salt, and softened butter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead on a floured surface for about 15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with wrap, and let rise until doubled in size (about 90 minutes).
Punch down the dough and divide into 12 pieces; shape each into a ball.
Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F during the last 20 minutes of rising; brush rolls with egg wash.
Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown.
In a saucepan, melt butter; add garlic and parsley; brush over hot rolls before serving.
