I am glad you are here. These incredibly soft and buttery dinner rolls come together in about an hour. You can make them plain or add garlic butter for extra flavor. They are simple to make and perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup water, warm
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • For Garlic Butter Topping:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy. This shows the yeast is active.
  2. Add the warm water, egg, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 5 tablespoons of melted butter to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  3. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 to 7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but keep it soft.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size. This quick rise makes these some of the best dinner rolls.
  6. Gently punch down the dough. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them close together in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
  7. Cover the pan loosely and let the rolls rise again in a warm place for another 20 minutes. They should look puffy.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. While the rolls are finishing their second rise, prepare the garlic butter topping. In a small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  10. Bake the rolls for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  11. Immediately after removing the rolls from the oven, brush the tops generously with the prepared garlic butter mixture.
  12. Serve your soft and buttery garlic dinner rolls warm. They are perfect as a side dish or appetizer.

Notes

  • For sweeter rolls, increase the sugar in the dough to 1/2 cup and skip the garlic butter topping, instead brushing with melted butter mixed with a pinch of cinnamon sugar after baking.
  • If you want Texas Roadhouse Rolls copycat flavor, add 1 teaspoon of honey to the melted butter topping before brushing on the hot rolls.
  • You can make these rolls ahead. After the first rise, shape them, place them in the pan, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking, and add 3-5 minutes to the bake time.
