There’s just something about garlic bread, isn’t there? I haven’t met a single person who doesn’t like garlic bread. While its baking, my mouth starts watering and it takes every bit of willpower I have not to dig in the moment it comes out of the oven. These glorious little swirly garlic rolls are no different, except with them you are met with the most beautiful bread rolls ever to exist. The simple swirl technique also creates lots of edges that get crisp and golden while baking. Stuffed with herby garlic butter, these rolls are going to be a total showstopper on your dinner table. And if you’re planning ahead, these will be magic on Thanksgiving!
How to make garlic rolls
These rolls can be made with any bread dough. My recipe is quite simple, even more so if made in a freestanding mixer. After the bread dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Combine softened butter, dried oregano, finely chopped parsley, finely chopped sage and crushed garlic together then spread onto the lower half of the dough. Fold the dough over the buttered half then gently roll out and flatten slightly with a rolling pin. Cut the dough into long strips. Pinch together the edges then twist the dough, holding an end in each hand. Swirl the twisted dough around itself then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the rolls until golden brown and risen then brush with melted butter when you remove them from the oven. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes then serve.
