Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • ½ cup warm milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons garlic (fresh minced or garlic powder)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Start by activating your yeast in warm water mixed with a pinch of sugar; it should foam within 5-10 minutes. Then combine the flour, salt, garlic, and Parmesan in a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture, warm milk, and melted butter, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Kneading develops the gluten that gives the buns their soft yet sturdy structure.
  3. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size—typically about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  4. Shape the Buns: Punch the dough down gently, then divide it into equal portions. Shape each piece into a round bun and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, evenly spaced to allow room for expansion.
  5. Second Rise: Cover the shaped buns again and let them rise for 30-40 minutes until puffed and soft.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Brush the buns lightly with melted butter mixed with extra garlic and Parmesan for extra flavor. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for a brighter, more vibrant flavor than garlic powder.
  • Warm ingredients like water and milk help yeast activate quickly and promote a smooth rise.
  • Don’t overbake; watch the buns in the last minutes to keep them soft and moist.
  • Brush melted butter immediately after baking to keep buns moist and delicious.
  • Store leftover buns in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
