Garlic Bread "Cinnamon" Rolls

These Garlic Bread "Cinnamon" Rolls are a fun and exciting way of making deliciously soft garlic bread for your next pasta dinner feast.

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 1 cup lukewarm whole milk
  • teaspoons 1/4-ounce packet active dry yeast
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • teaspoons salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • cup unsalted butter diced

Filling:

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 3 tablespoons chopped garlic fresh or jarred
  • 1/4 cup shredded or grated parmesan
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Topping:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic fresh or jarred
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast and about a teaspoon of the sugar. Set aside in a warm spot and let sit until foamy and frothy, about 10 minutes.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the dough hook, combine the flour, milk mixture, sugar, salt, eggs and butter and mix on medium until it comes together. Knead on high for about 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth and somewhat soft. Transfer the dough to a well-oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a damp kitchen towel. Let rest in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1½ hours.
  • Punch dough down and then transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Roll out into a large rectangle about ¼-inch thick. Spread evenly with the softened butter, and sprinkle with the chopped garlic, parmesan, paprika and parsley. Roll into a tight long, length wise, and then cut into 12 even pieces. Place on a well greased 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and a damp kitchen towel. Allow to rest in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake the rolls until puffed and golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, to make the topping, melt the butter in a small saucepan, set over low heat. Add the garlic and parsley and cook until the garlic has softened, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Brush over the warm buns and serve. Enjoy!
