These garlic yeast rolls are simple homemade bread rolls made with all-purpose flour, water, oil, and fresh yeast. The elastic dough is shaped into apple-sized balls, rested briefly under a kitchen towel, and baked at 180 °C (350 °F) until golden. While still warm, the rolls are brushed with garlic and sprinkled with herbs to taste.

Preparation takes about half an hour, and the recipe makes eight rolls. Serve them as a side or enjoy them on their own.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Combine the oil, sugar, salt, yeast, and flour in a medium bowl.
Gradually add the water, mixing first with a wooden spoon and then kneading by hand until the dough is elastic.
Shape the dough into apple-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet greased with oil and lined with parchment paper. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 5 minutes.
Bake at 180 °C (350 °F) until golden.
Brush the baked rolls with garlic and sprinkle with herbs to taste.

Tip: Mix the crushed garlic with a tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt, then brush it onto the warm rolls to spread it evenly over the surface.
