Ingredients

• 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
• ½ cup sour cream (for dipping sauce)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (for dipping sauce)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for dipping sauce)
• Salt and pepper to taste (for dipping sauce)

How to Make Soft Garlic Herb Dinner Rolls

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Add melted butter, garlic powder, salt, chopped parsley, and rosemary to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
3. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
7. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
8. Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
10. While the rolls are baking, prepare the creamy dipping sauce by mixing sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
11. Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with the dipping sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
• Knead the dough thoroughly for the best texture.
• For an extra flavorful crust, brush the warm rolls with melted butter immediately after baking.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the herbs with your favorites, such as thyme or basil, for a different flavor profile.
• Add shredded cheese to the dough for a cheesy twist.
• Incorporate chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives for Mediterranean flair.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy soups like tomato basil or potato leek
• Fresh salads with vinaigrette dressing
• Pasta dishes, especially those with garlic and olive oil
• Charcuterie boards for a delightful appetizer spread
