Rosemary Garlic Dinner Rolls

Rosemary garlic dinner rolls are delicious, flavorful, and aromatic. They are vegan, easy to make, and go well with pasta and soups. This is an easy rosemary garlic rolls recipe, the dough can be made in a bread machine or in the stand mixer.

Ingredients

This rosemary garlic rolls recipe requires only a few basic ingredients, easily available in the pantry. All-purpose flour or bread flour, sugar, salt, yeast, fresh garlic cloves, fresh or dried rosemary, and oil are what you will need. Rosemary adds flavor and aroma.

Instructions

After gathering all the ingredients, it is very easy to make dough for the rosemary garlic rolls. A bread machine or stand mixer can be used to knead the dough.

To make dough in bread machine, depending on your bread machine, put the wet and dry ingredients in the bread pan based on the manufacturer's instructions. I have added water, oil, sugar, salt, fresh rosemary, chopped garlic, all-purpose flour, and instant yeast.

Select and start the "dough" cycle. The bread machine will do the rest of the job of mixing, kneading, and getting the dough through its first rise.

It is best to weigh the flour using a digital food scale for consistent results. Measuring flour using a measuring cup is inconsistent and can add more flour than needed.

If using a stand mixer, add all the ingredients in the bowl of the stand mixer and knead with dough hook attachment for about 12 minutes on speed 2. Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a bowl. Let it rise into a warm place for about 45-60 minutes until it doubles in volume. Check out how to make dough in stand mixer.

Divide the dough into 15 equal parts, about 50 grams each. Shape them into smooth balls by pulling and tucking all the edges together to one side and place that as the bottom side in the baking dish lined with parchment paper. Place them about 1-2 fingers apart. 

Cover the tray with a cling wrap or a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until it doubles in volume.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the cling wrap or kitchen towel and then bake the rolls for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Take them out of the oven and optionally apply some butter on top using a basting brush. This gives the rolls a nice glaze.

Equipment

I have made the dough for these vegan rosemary garlic dinner rolls in the Zojirushi bread maker as well as the KitchenAid stand mixer. The rolls are baked in a convection oven in a deep baking dish of size 13 inch by 9 inch or larger.

Serving suggestions

Rosemary garlic rolls pair well with soups, especially tomato soup, gnocchi soup, and tortellini soup.

Storage

Rosemary garlic buns can be stored at room temperature for 4-5 days. It is best to keep it in a bread box or in an air-tight container. It is not recommended to store them in the fridge as it loses its moisture and becomes dry.

If you want to store the rolls for a longer time, it is best to freeze them in an airtight container or Ziplock bag. When you want to use it, you can warm them in the oven for about 15 minutes at 350°F.
