Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)

How to Make Rosemary Garlic Dinner Rolls
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and the yeast mixture.
- Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
- Place the dough balls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or on a lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and brush with more melted butter before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- Knead the dough thoroughly for the best texture.
- Let the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free area for optimal results.
- For an extra flavor boost, add more garlic or swap in different herbs like thyme or oregano.
Easy Variations
- Cheesy Rolls: Add shredded cheese like mozzarella or parmesan into the dough for a cheesy twist.
- Garlic Herb Butter: Mix minced garlic and herbs into the melted butter for brushing on top before baking.
- Whole Wheat Rolls: Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
What to Serve With It
- A hearty soup, like minestrone or tomato basil.
- Roasted meats, such as chicken or beef.
- A fresh green salad with vinaigrette.
- Pasta dishes, especially those with creamy sauces.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
