Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper (optional)
  • 1 clean kitchen towel
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ cups warm water 110°F/43°C
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it foams.
  • Add olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
  • Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until the dough comes together. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, and oregano to create the filling.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle, approximately ¼ inch thick.
  • Spread the herb and garlic mixture evenly over the dough rectangle.
  • Roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other, forming a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
  • Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover them again with a towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different herbs based on your preference, including thyme or rosemary.
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or frozen for longer storage.
