Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Extra melted butter for brushing
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
3. Add the Wet Ingredients
Stir in the milk and melted butter until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
4. Prepare the Garlic Butter
Mix the olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, and remaining Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
5. Form the Rolls
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll into balls, lightly coat each with the garlic-Parmesan mixture, and arrange them close together in the prepared baking dish.
6. Bake
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the rolls are cooked through.
7. Finish and Serve
Brush the hot rolls with additional melted butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan before serving warm.
Expert Tips
Handle the dough gently to keep the rolls tender. Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-shredded varieties. Finishing with melted butter immediately after baking keeps the tops soft and glossy.
Storage
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 5 to 8 minutes or microwave for about 20 seconds. Freeze for up to 2 months.
Serving Suggestions
Pair these rolls with spaghetti, lasagna, chicken Alfredo, tomato soup, creamy chowders, roasted chicken, grilled steak, Caesar salad, or holiday dinners. They're also perfect for making mini sandwich sliders.
Recipe Variations
Add shredded mozzarella, cheddar, Gruyère, or Asiago cheese for extra richness. Mix chopped rosemary, thyme, or basil into the dough, or add cooked bacon bits, caramelized onions, or chopped jalapeños for a flavorful twist.
