# Ingredients:
→ Dough ingredients
01 -
1 teaspoon salt
02 -
1 large egg
03 -
1¼ cups warm water (95-105°F)
04 -
3½ cups all-purpose flour
05 -
2 tablespoons instant yeast or platinum yeast
06 -
¼ cup granulated sugar
07 -
⅓ cup canola oil
→ Topping ingredients
08 -
2 teaspoons parsley
09 -
¼ cup grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
10 -
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
11 -
4 tablespoons melted butter
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a baking sheet, lay down parchment paper or a reusable non-stick mat, and set it aside.
02 -
Stir warm water, sugar, and yeast in a big bowl. Let it rest for 2-5 minutes until it looks bubbly.
03 -
Add oil, salt, the egg, and the flour gradually to the yeast mix. Stir everything together until smooth, adding a bit of extra flour if it's sticking too much.
04 -
Cut the dough into 16 even parts, then roll each piece into a small ball.
05 -
Arrange the rolls on your prepped baking sheet. Let them puff up by resting in a cozy spot for about 5-10 minutes.
06 -
Brush the risen rolls with melted butter. Sprinkle garlic, Parmesan, and parsley generously on top.
07 -
Set your oven to 375°F and bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they turn golden on top.
08 -
Once baked, brush the rolls with some extra melted butter to finish.
# Notes:
01 -
Yeast proofs best between 95-105°F. Keep it below 115°F, or the yeast will die.
02 -
Minimal kneading keeps this dough light and easy to work with, but a little gluten formation helps make airy bread.
03 -
For a richer twist, swap the water for milk and try using fat-free Greek yogurt in place of the egg; this idea came from one of our readers!
