Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Herb-Infused Dinner Rolls

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, garlic powder, and chopped rosemary.
  3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the frothy yeast mixture along with the olive oil.
  4. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. 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.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  7. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
  8. Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  10. If desired, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Knead the dough well for a better rise and texture.
  • If your kitchen is cool, create a warm environment for rising by placing the dough near a warm oven or in a sunny spot.

Easy Variations

  • Replace rosemary with thyme or oregano for different flavor profiles.
  • Add grated cheese, like Parmesan or cheddar, into the dough for a cheesy twist.
  • Incorporate chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean flair.

What to Serve With It

  • Creamy soups, like tomato basil or butternut squash
  • Fresh salads with vinaigrette dressing
  • Roasted meats or poultry
  • Pasta dishes with rich sauces

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
