Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for best flavor.
  • Don’t over-knead the dough.
  • Proper rising is crucial for light and fluffy rolls.
  • Use good quality butter.
  • Experiment with different herbs (oregano, rosemary, thyme).
  • Serve warm.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  • Weighing the dough for even-sized rolls is recommended.
  • A warm oven (turned off) is an ideal place for the first rise.
  • You can add extra garlic powder to the garlic butter for a stronger garlic flavor.
