Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm milk

Garlic Butter Coating

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast ensuring they are well blended.
  2. Add Milk and Form Dough: Gradually pour in the warm milk and stir until a rough dough forms. Transfer it onto a clean surface and knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  4. Divide Dough into Balls: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal small balls, rolling each smoothly between your palms.
  5. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley, mixing well to disperse the flavors.
  6. Coat Dough Balls: Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring every side is coated generously.
  7. Arrange in Muffin Tin: Place the buttered dough balls into a greased 12-cup muffin tin, distributing them evenly to allow room for expansion.
  8. Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the dough balls in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color on top.
  9. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best pull-apart experience.

Notes

  • Use store-bought pizza or bread dough to save preparation time.
  • Add shredded cheese like mozzarella or parmesan in the butter coating for extra cheesy flavor.
  • Best served fresh and warm to enjoy the soft texture and garlic aroma.
