Steps

  • Combine the dry ingredients, yeast, salt, and butter in a bowl or stand mixer.
  • Gradually add the milk and knead for 5 minutes until a smooth dough forms.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled.
  • Knock back the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
  • Shape each piece into a ball and arrange them in a flower pattern on a floured tray.
  • Cover and let the rolls rise again until they are touching.
  • Preheat the oven to its highest setting before baking.
  • Lower the oven to 200°C and bake the rolls for 20 minutes.
  • Melt mashed garlic, butter, and salt gently in a frying pan without browning.
  • Spread the garlic butter over the hot rolls immediately after baking.
