Soft, buttery rolls swirled with a flavorful garlic and herb filling. These Garlic Swirl Rolls are fluffy, aromatic, and perfect as a side dish for pasta, soups, or served on their own as a snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

  1. 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 cup warm water or milk
  3. 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  4. 1 tbsp sugar
  5. 1 tsp salt
  6. 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  7. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  8. 2 tbsp fresh parsley or 1 tbsp dried Italian herbs
  9. 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  10. 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine warm water or milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

  1. Add flour and salt. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Cover dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Meanwhile, mix softened butter, minced garlic, herbs, and Parmesan (if using) to make the garlic filling.
  4. Roll out risen dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
  5. Spread garlic butter filling evenly over the dough.
  6. Roll dough tightly from the long edge into a log and slice into 12 even pieces.
  7. Place rolls into a greased baking dish or muffin tin. Cover and let rise 20–30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown.
  10. Brush with olive oil or melted butter after baking. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra softness, use warm milk instead of water.
  • Add mozzarella or cheddar inside the swirl for a cheesy version.
  • Sprinkle chili flakes in the filling for a spicy variation.
  • Store-bought pizza dough can be used for convenience.
  • Freeze shaped rolls before baking, thaw, and let rise before baking.
