Delightful Garlic Swirl Rolls featuring soft, fluffy dough filled with a fragrant garlic butter and parsley mixture. These homemade rolls are perfect as a savory snack or a flavorful side to any meal, boasting a golden crust and a rich, buttery garlic aroma.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups warm milk (110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4–5 cups all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Then add the melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated into a smooth garlic butter spread.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12×18 inch rectangle. Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the dough. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
  4. Second Rise: Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased baking dish. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until they become puffy.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • The yeast mixture should become frothy to ensure the yeast is active.
  • Adjust the flour quantity as needed to achieve a soft but manageable dough.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the filling before rolling.
  • Serve the rolls warm for the best taste and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container; reheat before serving to refresh softness.
