Garlic Herb Bread Rolls

Serves 12 Prep 20 mins + rising Cook 20 mins Total 1 hour 40 mins

If you searched for garlic herb bread rolls and want the useful bits up front, you are in the right place: metric measures, a short intro, then ingredients, method, tip, and notes. As written it serves 12. Budget about 20 mins + rising to prep and 20 mins to cook or bake, roughly 1 hour 40 mins all up, across 10 ingredients and 4 method steps. Shop first for plain flour, dried yeast and salt; those ingredients do the heavy lifting for flavour and texture, while the rest of the list seasons, binds, or finishes the plate. One practical flag before you start: Brush while hot so the garlic butter soaks in. The Notes section expands shopping, heat, texture, and leftovers so the page stays useful beyond a bare ingredient dump. Everything on this page is metric-first for Australia. If you are converting from cups on an old card, weigh flour, sugar, and butter whenever the ingredient line shows grams.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Mix flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Add milk, melted butter and egg; knead until smooth. Rise 1 hour.
  2. Divide into 12 balls. Place in a greased dish. Rise 20 minutes.
  3. Bake at 190°C for 18–20 minutes until golden.
  4. Mix remaining butter with garlic and parsley; brush over hot rolls.

Tip: Brush while hot so the garlic butter soaks in.

Notes

  • Shopping and mise en place: read the full ingredient list once before you start. For Garlic Herb Bread Rolls, plain flour and dried yeast are the items that decide whether the dish tastes flat or properly seasoned. Weigh where grams are given — volume cups are fine for liquids and some dry goods, but baking ratios are tighter if you use scales. Australian cups are 250 ml; a tablespoon is 20 ml and a teaspoon is 5 ml.
  • Method rhythm: step one is “Mix flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Add milk, melted butter and egg; knead until smooth. Rise 1 hour.”. Do not skip resting, cooling, or draining steps if they appear later — they are usually there for texture. The finish is “Mix remaining butter with garlic and parsley; brush over hot rolls.”. Taste before you plate; salt at the end often needs a final pinch.
  • Serving ideas without fluff: cool on a rack, then slice or pack once firm. Keep accompaniments simple so the dish stays the hero — a green salad, steamed veg, rice, mash, or crusty bread depending on the style. Metric measures stay consistent across Scoops & Dishes, so once you trust the cups and scales here, the rest of the site cooks the same way.
  • Putting it together for Garlic Herb Bread Rolls: work clean, taste as you go, and do not rush browning or reduction steps if they appear in the method. If you are cooking for mixed diets, plate sauces and toppings separately where practical. Keep this page bookmarked if it becomes a household regular — we update wording when cooks report a confusing step. Metric consistency across Scoops & Dishes means once you trust the cups and scales here, breakfast through dessert behaves the same way.
