Ingredients
Scale:
3 ½ cups All-purpose flour
½ cup Bread flour
1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) Active dry yeast
2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Warm water (110°F)
½ cup Unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves Garlic, minced
¼ cup Fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, bread flour, and salt.
Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined, then knead the dough for about 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped herbs, and a pinch of salt. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Starting from one long end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover them loosely with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and brush with additional melted butter for a glossy finish. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
