Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13 pan.
  3. In a small pot, melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, parsley, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  5. Add warmed milk, the room-temperature egg, and garlic butter to the dry ingredients.
  6. Knead the mixture on low speed for 10-12 minutes until the dough is smooth, soft, and tacky. Adjust with more flour if too sticky.
  7. Divide the dough into twelve equal portions, shaping each into a ball.
Rising
  1. Place the shaped rolls in the prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let rise for 1-2 hours until fluffy.
Baking
  1. Once risen, brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg wash.
  2. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
  3. While the rolls are baking, melt the remaining butter for garlic butter, adding minced garlic and cooking until fragrant. Stir in parsley.
  4. Once rolls are done, brush them with the garlic butter and finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Notes

Store leftover rolls tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat to restore softness.
