Garlic Cilantro Butter Dinner Rolls

These soft dinner rolls are excellent for any occasion. I have been baking them many times! I got a little bit obsessed with this creation.

Ingredients 3 cups of all- purpose flour

1 packet Fleischmann’s Rapid Rise Yeast

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup warm milk

2 tablespoon honey

1 large egg room temperature

4 tablespoons salted butter room temperature

Butter paste 3 large garlic cloves minced 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (If you use salted butter don't add the 1tsp of salt)

¼ cup chopped cilantro

1 tablespoon of salt

Parmesan cheese to taste

Combine flour, yeast, and salt. Add to the dry ingredients warm milk, honey, egg, and butter. Use the dough hook of a stand mixer to combine all the ingredients until the flour is totally incorporated. If the dough looks too wet, sprinkle a little bit of flour. It should be ready in about 4 -5 minutes.

Be careful with the temperature of the milk. I killed the yeast a few times because my milk was too hot. The milk temperature should be from 100 - 110 F. If you have a thermometer, use it! if not just imagine you were bathing a kid, the temperature of the water should be sublimely warm. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and let it rise for about 20 minutes or until double size.

I do not have a proving drawer but one of my methods is using my oven. The temperature for a proving drawer goes from 70 - 100 F. I boil 3 cups of water and put it in a bowl inside of my oven with the dough. That creates better conditions for my dough to grow.

To make the garlic butter combine butter, 3 large garlic minced, cilantro and salt until have a uniform paste.

When the dough has double its size push down and divide the dough in two parts. Roll out the dough into a 12 inch square and spread evenly the garlic butter paste and sprinkle the parmesan cheese. Cut the dough into 6 parts and roll each stripe. Do the same with the other half. In a 8x8 prepared baking dish arrange the rolls seam side down. Cover the dish and let it rise for 30 minutes.

My news method of proving the dough is using neck and shoulder heating pad in low temperature… the smartest thing I ever have thought about! Works pretty well.

Bake the rolls until gold for 20 - 25 minutes at 350F. Before taking them out of the oven I broil my rolls on high for about 30 - 45 seconds. I love them a little bit darker on and crunchy on the top, but that's optional. Enjoy!
