Ingredients:

For the Rolls:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F/45°C)
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg

For the Garlic Butter Topping:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
   • Add the softened butter, egg, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
   • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step.
   • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
2. Shape the Rolls:
   • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, arranging them closely together.
   • Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping:
   • While the rolls are rising, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, parsley, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
4. Bake the Rolls:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Once the rolls have risen, brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the top of each roll.
   • Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
5. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy these soft, buttery garlic rolls with your favorite meal!

These garlic dinner rolls are perfect for any occasion and will quickly become a favorite in your household.
