Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make Garlic Herb Dinner Rolls
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the melted butter and the yeast mixture.
- Add the minced garlic, parsley, and rosemary to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the creamy dip by mixing together sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Once the rolls are baked, let them cool slightly before serving with the creamy dip.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
- Knead the dough well to develop gluten for that fluffy texture.
- Let the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free area for optimal rising.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before serving for extra flavor.
Easy Variations
- Add shredded cheese to the dough for a cheesy twist.
- Incorporate different herbs like thyme or basil to customize the flavor.
- Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt in the dip for a tangy alternative.
What to Serve With It
- Pair with a hearty soup, like potato leek or minestrone.
- Serve alongside roasted meats or grilled vegetables.
- Enjoy with a fresh salad for a light meal.
