Garlic Rolls Ingredients


Garlic bread rolls has the simple dough and the garlic butter spread. The bread dough is very similar to a pizza dough. These are the ingredients which you might need.
All Purpose Flour - I used plain flour for making the dough. You can use whole wheat flour for healthier alternative. But it will affect the texture a bit. Still the taste will be great.
Dry Yeast - yeast helps with the activation of the dough and makes it puffy.
Salt & Sugar - enhance the taste of the bread and also makes it puffy and soft.
Oil - I used olive oil in the bread dough. You can use melted butter.
Ingredients for Making Garlic Butter
Butter - generous amount of butter is used in the filling. You can use salted or unsalted as you prefer. If you are using salted butter, be cautious when adding salt.
Garlic - Be generous with the garlic used in the bread. Some recipes uses garlic powder, But I always prefer to use fresh garlic for the intense garlic flavour.
Italian Seasoning & Herbs - you can use either Italian seasoning or use a combination of your favorite herbs. Along with the dried herbs, I use fresh coriander leaves too.

Garlic Rolls Preparation
Making Dough - Mix yeast and sugar with warm water and set this aside for 5 mins.let it foam up. Take flour, salt, oil in a bowl and mix well. Pour yeast mix into the flour and mix well to a dough. Cover it with plastic wrap or damp cloth and set this aside for 1 hour till it is doubled in size.
Making Garlic Spread - Mix all the ingredients for garlic spread together till it form a smooth paste.
Shaping Rolls - Take the dough out of the bowl and knead it for 5 min. Roll the dough into a rough rectangle and spread the garlic spread over it. Now roll this into log. Cut into equal portion. Arrange this in a buttered baking pan leaving little space between each of them. Now cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise for 45 min.
Baking - In the last 10 mins or rising, preheat oven to 200 degree C.Now place this in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 mins. Take it out and apply some butter over the top,so that it looks glossy and shiny. Serve hot or warm with a cup of tea.

Nice i love it

Hai aarthi i tried the garlic buns but the dough did not rise up and with tat i continued the process the bun was very hard wats the reason
Aarthi
@deepa.555 naveenIf your bread didn't rise, then your yeast is dead. You can never get buns with dead yeast
Aarthi
@deepa.555 naveen Always activate your yeast by adding it in warm water with some sugar and leave it to foam up. If it didn't foam up, then ur yeast has expired. You have to throw that away start with a fresh batch of yeast.

Thank u aarthi ,i ll try with the new yeast
deepa.555 naveen

I tried with new yeast aarthi but the dough didnt rise
Aarthi
@deepa.555 naveenthen i think you must have poured too hot water over the yeast. You have to use very warm water.
