Homemade garlic Parmesan dinner rolls are the best dinner rolls ever. This recipe is so easy with cotton soft rolls topped with garlic and Parmesan cheese. So good!
A few days ago, I shared with you the skillet dinner rolls recipe, using a homemade 60 minutes bread dough recipe that my baking assistant Kendoll swears by.
Today, I am sharing with you this garlic Parmesan dinner rolls recipe that is even better. They’re sinfully good!
These dinner rolls use the same bread dough, with garlic-herb butter and Parmesan cheese. I personally love these rolls more as they are so dainty and pretty, tied into beautiful knots and baked to golden brown glory. Every bite is bursting with the garlicky and buttery flavors, with the cheesy nuance. I had so many of these when they were out of the oven, I didn’t even need butter, they were just amazing.
Make dozens of these for the upcoming holiday season, for Thanksgiving and Christmas! You will love them, I promise you.

How To Make Garlic Parmesan Dinner Rolls
Step 1. Dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in warm water. Then heat the milk with the sugar, salt, and butter until lukewarm.
Step 2. Add the egg to the yeast mixture. Combine the yeast mixture, milk mixture, and all of the flour. Stir to combine well. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead the dough for 5 minutes.
Step 3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). On a floured surface, roll out the dough and divide it into 24 balls. Roll each ball into a rope and tie it into a knot. Cover and let it rise for 25 minutes.
Step 4. Meanwhile, prepare the garlic-herb butter by combining all the topping ingredients, except the Parmesan cheese. Brush the butter mixture generously over the surface and top with Parmesan cheese.
Step 5. Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the center of the dinner rolls is cooked through and the tops are golden brown. Brush with the remaining butter mixture and serve warm.

What type of yeast are you using? I have traditional, rapid etc. Thank you
Rapid or traditional is fine.
Overall the ingredients make a delicious roll that is very light and soft and stays fresh the following day. However, a total of 6 tablespoons of sugar is not my idea of a Garlic Parmesan Roll. I went with it, in case I was missing something, since the comments were good. However, my gut feeling was correct for me. To me, sweetness just doesn’t go with garlic and parmesan cheese. The only ingredient I used less of was flour and I used bread flour. I followed traditional bread making instructions rather than the instructions as listed here. I am glad I did. Had I put in the full amount of flour to start, I would have had a much stiffer dough. I add my flour slowly as my mixer is kneading. I continue adding until the dough just stops sticking. Doing this I only needed 4 cups of flour. I used bread flour as I do for all breads and rolls. I would definitely use this recipe for non garlic rolls (still using less sugar). I think it would make a delightful plain dinner roll. I may try them again as garlic rolls, but eliminate the sugar, except for a teaspoon for proofing the yeast.
