Who doesn’t love bread? Also, who doesn’t love fresh, warm dinner rolls? Yes to both! I love bread, especially garlic bread. But as I’ve said before I also don’t usually have the patience to deal with yeast. So I’ve been perfecting my beer bread, or in this case, beer roll recipes.
I was preparing dinner one night and thought to myself how nice it would be to have some fresh garlic bread or rolls to go with my meal. I combined a few of my working beer bread recipes and pulled in the elements of garlic bread (garlic, butter, parsley). And sectioned up the loaf into rolls instead, threw them in a cast iron skillet in the oven and Voila! Garlic dinner rolls in just over 30 minutes. These have a denser, slightly more biscuity texture to traditional dinner rolls, but they are irresistible hot out of the oven. They are also great toasted with butter and they make a mean meatball sandwich!
Garlic Butter Beer Rolls
Ingredients
- 3 Cups flour
- 2 Tablespoons baking powder
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 3 Tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- ¾ Cup wheat beer at room temperature
- ¾ Cup Greek yogurt not non-fat
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Mix dry ingredients to combine.
- Mince the two cloves of garlic. In a small saucepan melt the butter and add in the minced garlic. Allow to heat up and get fragrant. Take the butter off the heat and add in the remaining tablespoon of parsley
- Make a well (hole) in the middle of the dry ingredients. Add two tablespoons of the melted butter, including most of the minced garlic to the ‘well’ in the dry ingredients
- Add the yogurt into the dry ingredients and then pour in the beer
- Mix together until just combined then transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 6 minutes
- Cut into 8 or 10 sections (depending on desired size) and roll into balls. Cover and allow to rest for 8 to 10 minutes
- Lightly oil an oven safe pan (I used a cast iron skillet). Place rolls into pan and drizzle/brush with remaining 2 tablespoons of garlic butter, you may have leftovers
- Bake in the oven of 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown on top. Serve warm or store in an airtight container
