My kids go crazy when I toss extra herbs into the filling. The fresh thyme and rosemary we grow make these rolls taste extra special.

Keeping Them Fresh
Store your fresh-baked rolls at room temp for a couple days in a sealed container. Pop baked rolls in the freezer for up to 3 months, warming them in a low oven until they soften up.
Through my years making these rolls, I've found that taking your time during rising is super important for getting that dreamy, soft texture that makes everyone want seconds.

Common Recipe Questions
→ Can I prep this dough early?

→ How should I keep leftovers fresh?

→ Are these rolls freezable?

→ Why won't my dough rise?
Check your yeast freshness and ensure your milk is around 110°F. Use a warm spot for rising.

Garlic Butter Swirls
Warm butter rolls packed with garlic and herbs. Ideal for any time of day, straight from the oven.
Stir the warm milk and sugar in a big mixing bowl, then sprinkle yeast over it. Let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy, then add in butter, eggs, and salt. Slowly incorporate the flour until you get a fluffy dough.
Step 02
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth. Move the dough into a greased bowl, cover it up, and leave it to double in size for around 1 to 1.5 hours.
Step 03
In a small bowl, mash together the softened butter with garlic, parsley, salt, and a dash of pepper until it’s all blended nicely.
Step 04
Flatten the dough into a 12×18 inch sheet. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over it, roll it up tightly from the longer side, and cut it into 12 slices.
Step 05
Lay the rolls in a buttered baking pan, let them rise again for about 30 to 45 minutes until they puff up. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
