Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Herb & Garlic Filling

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, thyme)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in warm water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes until bubbly and fragrant. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then knead the dough either by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
  3. Mix the Herb & Garlic Filling: While the dough is rising, finely chop the fresh garlic and herbs. Combine them with olive oil and a pinch of salt to create a fragrant and spreadable herb mixture.
  4. Shape the Rolls: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the herb and garlic mixture evenly over the dough. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into equal pieces and place them cut-side up in a greased baking pan, leaving space between each roll.
  5. Final Rise and Bake: Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Optionally, brush the tops with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for the brightest flavor and aroma.
  • Ensure water is warm (not hot) to activate yeast effectively.
  • Allow the dough to fully proof each time for softer, lighter rolls.
  • Tightly roll the dough to create distinct swirls and even herb distribution.
  • Brush rolls with olive oil before baking for a shiny, flavorful crust.
