Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor—garlic powder just doesn’t hit the same.
- Knead the dough properly for soft, fluffy rolls. Under-kneaded dough = dense rolls.
- Serve warm for peak buttery, garlicky deliciousness.
DON’T:
- Skip the second rise; your rolls need time to puff up for that light texture.
- Overbake them—dry rolls are sad rolls. Check at the 20-minute mark.
- Forget to save some garlic butter for dipping. Trust me, you’ll want it.
Optional Add-Ins:
- Cheesy Rolls: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or Parmesan on top before baking.
- Herbed Rolls: Add dried Italian seasoning or rosemary to the garlic butter.
- Spicy Kick: Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter for heat.
These garlic butter rolls are soft, flavorful, and dangerously addictive. Perfect for holiday dinners, soups, or just as a snack you “accidentally” eat 6 of. 🧄🥖✨
