Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • ¾ cup whole milk (or 2%)
  • ½ cup water
  • 4 to cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • ¼ cup instant potato flakes
  • 1 tablespoon rapid-rise (instant) yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary (or ½ tablespoon dried)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley, divided (or 1½ tablespoons dried)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 12 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe cup, combine 4 tablespoons butter, milk, and water. Heat until warm (~110–115 °F), not hot.
  2. In a stand mixer with dough hook, combine 4 cups flour, potato flakes, yeast, sugar, salt, garlic powder, rosemary, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Stir to combine.
  3. With mixer on stir, slowly pour in warm liquid and add the egg. Mix, then knead on medium-low for 4–5 minutes. Add up to ½ cup more flour if needed until dough pulls from sides and is soft but not sticky.
  4. Cover dough and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180 °F, then turn off. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  5. Turn dough onto floured surface and roll into a 15-inch circle. Cut into 12 or 16 equal pieces and shape into smooth balls. Place seam-side down in prepared dish.
  6. Lightly brush tops with water. Place in turned-off 180 °F oven for 20 minutes to rise. Do not open the oven during this time.
  7. Remove rolls from oven. Preheat oven to 375 °F. Bake rolls 18–22 minutes (14–18 minutes if smaller) until golden brown and springy.
  8. While baking, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan with minced garlic. Add remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and a pinch of salt. Brush over rolls as soon as they come out of the oven. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Instant potato flakes create a soft, fluffy texture—don’t skip them if possible.
  • Measure dough pieces for even baking if preferred.
  • Use fresh garlic for stronger garlic butter flavor.
  • Brush extra garlic butter after reheating to refresh rolls.
  • You can prepare and freeze shaped dough before baking.
