Herb & Garlic Swirl Rolls are fluffy, buttery bread rolls layered with a savory garlic-herb filling. They’re perfect for serving alongside pasta, soups, roasted meats, or simply enjoyed as a snack.

Ingredients

  1. 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 cup warm milk or water
  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 mixed fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, thyme, or basil) or 1 tbsp dried herbs
  9. 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  10. 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

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

  1. Stir in flour and salt to form a dough. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Meanwhile, mix softened butter, garlic, herbs, and Parmesan (if using) to create the filling.
  4. Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
  5. Spread the garlic herb butter evenly over the dough.
  6. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log and slice into 12 rounds.
  7. Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined tray. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Brush with olive oil or melted butter after baking. Serve warm.

Notes

  1. Use whole milk in the dough for extra softness.
  2. Try adding mozzarella or cheddar inside for cheesy rolls.
  3. For a spicy version, add chili flakes to the filling.
  4. Store-bought pizza dough can be used as a shortcut.
  5. Freeze baked rolls for up to 2 months and reheat in the oven.
