Instructions
Making Herb & Garlic Swirl Rolls can be a fun and fulfilling experience. Follow these simple steps to achieve the perfect rolls:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the warm water and olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm environment for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped herbs, and garlic powder (if using) to create the filling.
6. Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).
7. Add the Filling: Sprinkle the herb and garlic mixture evenly over the rolled dough, pressing gently to adhere.
8. Form the Rolls: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
9. Cut the Rolls: Slice the log into 12 equal pieces. Place them cut-side up in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
10. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, or until puffed up.
11. Preheat the Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
12. Brush and Bake: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
13. Cool Slightly: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
14. Serve Warm: Enjoy the rolls warm or at room temperature.
