Ingredients

Scale

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for brushing)
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter; stir until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place in a greased baking dish.
Mix melted butter with minced garlic; brush over each roll. Let rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Brush with additional garlic butter before serving.
