Herb Butter Pull-Apart Rolls – Soft, Buttery, and Perfect for Your Holiday Table! 🌿🧈✨

Ingredients:

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 cup warm milk (about 110°F) 🥛
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 🧈
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt 🧂
1 egg 🥚

For the Herb Butter:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 🧈
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped 🌿
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced 🧄

Step-by-Step Directions:

Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This means your yeast is ready to work! 🥛✨

Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, softened butter, egg, and the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size. 🥚💛

Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish or cast iron skillet, close enough so they’ll bake together. Cover and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes. 🌿✨

Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Your kitchen will smell amazing! 🔥🤤

Make the Herb Butter: While the rolls are baking, mix the melted butter, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic in a small bowl. When the rolls come out of the oven, immediately brush them with the herb butter for that rich, savory flavor. 🧄🌿🧈

Serve & Enjoy: Serve these warm, soft rolls straight from the oven. They’re perfect for soaking up gravy, pairing with soup, or just enjoying on their own! 🍽️✨
