Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp yeast
  • 1/2 cup lukewarm water
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp sugar divided
  • 4 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup lukewarm milk
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 6 tbsps unsalted butter melted and divided
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine yeast, warm water and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let stand for five minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Make a well in the center.
  • Add milk, eggs, 3 tbsps of melted butter, and yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  • Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm place to rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size. Punch down the dough and turn onto a floured work surface. Divide into 20 small pieces of dough.
  • In a bowl, whisk together remaining 3 tbsps melted butter with garlic and Italian seasoning. Dip each piece of dough into the butter mixture, then place it in a 12-inch skillet or baking sheet in a ring shape. Repeat and make sure there is some space between the rolls. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise again for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 400F. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
