Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (about 110°F)
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for herb topping)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for topping)
1/4 teaspoon salt (for topping)

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, milk, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Prepare Herb Butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, basil, garlic powder, and salt.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Add Topping: Remove from the oven and immediately brush the warm rolls with the herb butter mixture. Serve warm.
