Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon instant yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon salt

¾ cup warm water (about 110°F/43°C)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Extra butter for brushing

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

    Slowly add warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.

      Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

        Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

          While dough is rising, prepare the garlic butter mixture. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and Parmesan cheese, and mix well.

            Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.

              Shape each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly and place a small amount (about half a teaspoon) of the garlic butter mixture into the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the butter, pinching to seal it, and roll it into a smooth ball again.

                Arrange the filled rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, allowing a little space between each roll.

                  Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.

                    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

                      Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

                        Once out of the oven, brush the tops with additional melted butter and sprinkle with more parsley if desired.

                          Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 2 hours (including rising time) | Servings: 12 rolls
