Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • Extra melted butter for brushing

How to Make Savory Garlic Butter Bites

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with the melted butter.
  3. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little extra flour if the dough is too sticky.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Punch down the risen dough and roll it into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, melted butter, chopped parsley, and chives. Brush the mixture generously over each dough ball.
  8. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each ball, then cover and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with more melted butter before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Knead the dough well for a light and airy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for the best results.
  • Experiment with different herbs like oregano or thyme for varied flavors.

Easy Variations

  • Add grated cheese, like Parmesan or mozzarella, to the dough for extra flavor.
  • Incorporate spices such as paprika or red pepper flakes for a kick.
  • Swap out the sesame seeds for poppy seeds or everything bagel seasoning for a twist.

What to Serve With It

  • A zesty marinara sauce for dipping
  • Creamy garlic aioli or ranch dressing
  • Fresh vegetable platters
  • A selection of cheeses and cured meats

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes to restore their crispy texture.
