Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1 egg (for brushing)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- Flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the rolls evenly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add yogurt: Add the whole milk Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. The mixture will look in pieces and not smooth; avoid overmixing.
- Form dough ball: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently pull it together into a ball. Lightly knead if needed and if the dough is too sticky, add flour a tablespoon at a time until manageable. Press the dough into a thick round disk.
- Shape rolls: Cut the disk into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball by working it gently in your hands to remove cracks.
- Prepare for baking: Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Whisk the egg well in a small bowl and brush each roll for a shiny, golden crust.
- Bake rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 24 to 28 minutes. Begin checking at 20 minutes and continue checking every few minutes. Use one roll as a tester by pulling it apart to make sure it is cooked through.
- Prepare garlic butter: While the rolls bake, whisk together the softened butter, minced garlic clove, and chopped parsley.
- Finish rolls: Once golden brown and fully baked, let the rolls cool for a few minutes. Brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and extra parsley if desired.
Notes
- Do not overwork the dough to keep the rolls tender.
- If dough feels too sticky, add flour sparingly to avoid dry rolls.
- Use fresh parsley for the best flavor in the garlic butter.
- Brush with egg wash just before baking for a beautiful golden crust.
- Check the internal doneness by pulling one roll apart; it should be cooked through but soft.
- Serve warm for best taste and texture.
