Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast 2 ¼ tsp
- 1 cup warm milk not hot
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
Activate the Yeast
- Mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let it sit for about five to ten minutes. Wait until the mixture becomes foamy and smells like fresh bread.
Mix the Dough
- In your large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and softened butter. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until a soft dough begins to form.
Knead the Dough
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about eight minutes. Do this until the dough feels smooth, stretchy, and no longer sticks to your hands.
Let the Dough Rise
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it tightly. Leave it in a warm spot for one hour. The dough should double in size during this time.
Prepare the Creamy Herb Filling
- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, parsley, chives, and garlic powder. Stir them together until the herbs are spread evenly through the cream cheese.
Shape and Fill the Rolls
- Punch the dough down and divide it into twelve equal pieces. Flatten each piece, place a teaspoon of filling inside, and pinch the edges to seal.
Second Rise
- Place the filled rolls into a greased baking pan. Cover them and let them rise again for thirty minutes. This makes the rolls extra light and fluffy.
Bake the Rolls
- Brush the tops with a beaten egg for a golden shine. Bake at 375°F for twenty to twenty-five minutes. The rolls should be a beautiful golden brown color.
Notes
- Check Milk Temperature: Make sure your milk is warm but never boiling. Hot milk will kill the yeast and the bread will not rise.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh parsley and chives give much more flavor than dried herbs.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top before baking for a salty crust. If you love that buttery, cheesy combo on baked goods, you might also enjoy this fluffy biscuit recipe baked in a butter bath — it's a crowd-pleaser at any table.
- Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cream cheese filling.
- Honey Butter: Brush the hot rolls with honey butter for a sweet and salty taste.
- Whole Wheat: You can replace half of the white flour with whole wheat flour.
