Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1¼ cups warm water (95-105 degrees)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. yeast (instant or platinum)
- ⅓ cup canola oil
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 large egg
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
Topping
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp granulated garlic
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese (shredded or grated)
- 2 tsp parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick liner and set it aside.
- Proof Yeast: In a large bowl, combine the yeast with warm water and sugar. Allow the mixture to proof for about 2-5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Mix Dough: Add the canola oil, salt, egg, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until the dough is combined, adding a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Shape Rolls: Divide the dough into 16 equal-sized pieces and shape each into a roll. If needed, knead lightly on a floured surface to develop gluten for fluffier rolls.
- Rise: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and let them rise in a warm spot for about 5-10 minutes, such as near a fireplace or a warm oven environment.
- Add Toppings: Brush the risen rolls with melted butter, then sprinkle granulated garlic, parmesan cheese, and parsley evenly over them.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
- Bake: Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Finish: Spread additional melted butter on the rolls before serving for a rich, flavorful finish.
Notes
- For a dairy variation, replace the water with milk and the egg with a heaping tablespoon of fat-free Greek yogurt for equally good results.
- While this dough requires minimal kneading, kneading for about 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface can help create a fluffier texture by developing gluten.
- Maintain the ideal yeast proofing temperature between 95-105 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid killing the yeast and ensure proper rising.
- If using a stand mixer, mixing alone may suffice to develop gluten, but adjustments might be needed based on your local climate or elevation.
