How to make the PERFECT dinner rolls:

1. Use milk and eggs! – Dinner rolls should be soft and tender, not crusty and dense like regular bread. Recipes containing eggs and milk yield a softer, sweeter roll that’s the perfect addition to any dinner table.
2. Don’t use too much flour! – Nobody likes a dry dinner roll, so add the last 1/2 cup of flour slowly just until the dough is sticky but stays together in a ball.
3. Go for golden brown! – Use egg wash (1 egg beaten with a splash of water or milk), or even melted butter to brush over the unbaked rolls before baking to create that gorgeous golden brown colour!
4. Think outside the box! – Who says a great dinner roll needs to have that traditional round shape? Try a knot-style, a twist or the style I used in a muffin tin for these Easy Homemade Garlic Butter Dinner Rolls!

Recipe: Instructions 

• In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, add the water, yeast and sugar, and stir together with a fork. Set aside to rise.
• Add the flour and sea salt to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment (use a large bowl and a wooden spoon if you don't have a stand mixer).
• When the water, yeast and sugar mixture has risen up slightly and is nice and fluffy, add it to the mixing bowl along with the egg and melted butter.
• Turn the mixer on low speed and mix until the dough comes together. Turn the speed up just slightly until the dough forms a very soft ball around the dough hook and clears the sides of the bowl. If the dough appears very sticky and too fluid, add the extra 1/4 cup flour.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rise in a warm place in the kitchen for 90 minutes or until the dough at least doubles in size.
• When the dough has finished rising, grease 2 muffin tins (you'll need about 18 cups) with a little bit of melted butter and set aside.
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Melt the 1/3 cup butter in the microwave and stir in the garlic, parsley and sea salt. Set aside.
• Punch the dough down after it rises and divide the dough in two equal parts.
• Roll out one part of the dough on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin into an 12-inch by 12-inch square.
• Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the square into 9 smaller squares (make a tic tac toe shape with the large square).
• Brush each of the 9 squares with the melted butter mixture. Twist each square one and a half times in the middle and place them twist side down into the muffin cups. Repeat with the second half of the dough.
• Once all the dough squares have been twisted and placed in the muffin cups, brush the tops with the leftover melted butter mixture.
• Cover the muffin tins with a clean kitchen towel and let rise a second time for about 20-25 minutes.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15-18 minutes or until the rolls are a light golden brown colour.
• While the rolls are hot, sprinkle with some flaked or coarse sea salt and some chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
• Remove them from the muffin cups and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
