Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (95-105°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons instant or platinum yeast
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated garlic
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded or grated
- 2 teaspoons parsley
- Additional melted butter for brushing after baking (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick liner and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine warm water and sugar, then add the yeast and let it proof for 2 to 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add canola oil, salt, egg, and flour, then mix until a soft dough forms; add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces and shape each into a smooth roll.
- Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet and let rise in a warm place for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Brush the risen rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated garlic, Parmesan, and parsley.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
- Brush with additional butter on top before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Milk option: Replace the warm water with warm milk for a slightly richer roll.
- Egg option: Replace the egg with a heaping tablespoon of fat-free Greek yogurt if needed.
- Kneading: The dough needs minimal kneading, but knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes if you want a fluffier texture.
- Yeast temperature: Keep the proofing liquid around 95-105°F for reliable activation.
