Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted for brushing on top

Tools Needed

• Large mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Baking pan (9×13 inches)
• Plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel
• Oven mitts

Suggested Substitutions and Additions

• If you don’t have all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour can work, though it will yield denser rolls.
• You can use fresh herbs for a more robust flavor, but dried ones work well too.
• Feel free to add shredded cheddar cheese for a twist, or switch up the seasoning by adding some crushed red pepper for a spicy kick!

How to Make Easy Garlic Herb Parmesan Pull Apart Rolls Recipe

Step 1: Prepare Your Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and garlic powder. Whisk together dry ingredients until well-combined.

Next, add the warm milk and melted butter to the dry mix. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, you’ll want to combine those ingredients until a dough starts to form. It’ll feel a bit sticky at first but do not worry—that’s a good sign!

Step 2: Knead the Dough

Dust a clean surface with a little flour. Transfer your dough onto that surface and knead it for about 5 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic. You’ll know it’s ready when it feels soft to the touch and springs back when poked. It should also have a lovely, subtle buttery aroma—heavenly!

Step 3: Let It Rise

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it’s doubled in size. It’s like a magic show, watching that dough puff up!

Step 4: Shape and Assemble

Once the dough has risen, punch it down lightly. On a floured surface, divide the dough into 20 equal pieces.

Now it’s time to shape those pieces! Roll them into small balls. Once they’re formed, dip each ball into melted butter, then roll them in a mixture of the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and parsley. Layer the balls in the greased baking pan, letting them sit close together but not squished.

Step 5: Baking

Cover the assembled rolls again and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough looks puffed and fluffy again, it’s time to bake!

Pop the rolls into the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes until they’re golden brown on top. You’ll want to breath in that warm, buttery scent wafting from the oven—it’s pure bliss!

Tips for Making It Perfect

• If your dough feels too sticky, add a bit more flour (one tablespoon at a time) while kneading until it reaches a nice smooth texture.
• Make sure to knead enough so that gluten can develop for a fluffy breadrolls.
• You can prepare the dough the day before and let it rise overnight in the refrigerator—just bring it back to room temperature before baking.
• Don’t skip the second rise! It helps create that tender texture we love in our rolls.
• Feel free to add garlic butter on top right before serving for an extra pop of flavor!

Storage Instructions

If you have any rolls left, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze these rolls! Just place them in a ziplock bag once cooled and store for up to 2 months. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
