Instructions

Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch baking pan and set aside.
In a small pot, melt 4 ½ tablespoons of butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool while preparing the dough.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, parsley, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warmed milk, egg, and garlic butter mixture. Using the dough hook, knead on low speed for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and slightly tacky. If the dough is too sticky, add one tablespoon of flour at a time until the dough becomes manageable.
Transfer the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions (about 67 grams each). Roll each piece into a smooth ball. Pinch the seam at the bottom to keep the rolls tight. Place the shaped rolls into the prepared pan.
Cover the rolls with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let them rise for 1-2 hours, or until they’ve doubled in size and are touching.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg wash. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pot and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Cheese Garlic Rolls: Add shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese to the dough for a cheesy twist.
Herb Butter: Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different flavor in the garlic butter.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy version.
