Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 kitchen towel
- 1 whisk
- 1 pastry brush
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoon or 7 g)
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened (divided)
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add in the yeast mixture, ¼ cup of softened butter, minced garlic, olive oil, parsley, basil, and oregano. Mix until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches.
- Spread the remaining ¼ cup of softened butter evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle a mixture of finely chopped herbs and additional minced garlic over the buttered dough.
- Starting at one edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seams to seal.
- Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
