Ingredients
- Hot Water: 1 cup (110°F)
- Eggs: 1 large
- Butter: 2 tablespoons (melted) + 2 tablespoons (for brushing)
- Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons (finely chopped)
- Caraway Seeds: ½ teaspoon
- Cracked Pepper: ½ teaspoon
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the rolls will bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown finish.
-
-
Prepare the Muffin Pan: Butter a 12-cup muffin pan generously to prevent the rolls from sticking. This also helps them develop a golden crust.
-
Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine your hot roll mix with the yeast packet included in the mix. Pour in the hot water, then add one large egg and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until a dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. This step is crucial as it develops the gluten, which gives the rolls their desirable texture.
-
Rest the Dough: Cover the kneaded dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 5 minutes. This brief rest period allows the dough to relax and become easier to work with.
-
Prepare the Butter Mixture: While the dough rests, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. This will be used to brush over the dough later.
-
Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into two equal portions. Cover one portion with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining dough into a rectangle approximately 14 inches by 7½ inches.
-
Add Flavor: Brush the rolled-out dough with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter. Sprinkle 1½ teaspoons of finely chopped fresh parsley evenly over the surface.
-
Cut the Dough: Slice the dough lengthwise into 5 strips, each about 1½ inches wide and 14 inches long. Stack the strips on top of each other, then cut the stacked dough into 6 pieces. Arrange each piece, sliced side up, in the prepared muffin cups.
-
Let the Rolls Rise: Lightly cover the muffin pan with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free place until they have doubled in size. This typically takes between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature.
-
Prepare for Baking: Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the tops of the rolls to give them a beautiful, glossy finish. Sprinkle each roll with caraway seeds for an added burst of flavor.
-
Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have risen nicely.
-
Make Parslied Butter: While the rolls are baking, combine the remaining melted butter with the finely chopped parsley and cracked pepper. This mixture will be used as a delicious spread for the freshly baked rolls.
-
Serve: Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before serving. Offer the parslied butter on the side for dipping and spreading.
