Instructions
Follow these steps to create Soft, Buttery Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Rolls effortlessly:
1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and salt. Add the foamy yeast mixture once ready.
3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare the Garlic Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with a bit of melted butter and a pinch of salt.
7. Divide the Dough: After the first rise, punch the dough down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
8. Shape the Rolls: In your hands, roll each piece into a ball. Dip each ball into the garlic butter mixture, then into the grated Parmesan cheese.
9. Arrange in a Pan: Place the coated dough balls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, arranging them closely together.
10. Second Rise: Cover the dish again with a towel and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes until puffy.
11. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls are rising.
12. Bake: Once they’ve risen, brush the tops with more melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
13. Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with a bit more Parmesan and chopped parsley, if desired.
By the end of these steps, you’ll have a batch of warm, fluffy rolls that are ready to entice anyone who smells their aroma!
