Easy One Hour Pull-Apart Garlic Rolls Ingredient List

All-purpose flour — This is the base ingredient of the recipe that gives structure and texture to the garlic rolls.

Baking Powder— Used as the leavening agent, the baking powder helps make the bread light and airy.

Vegan Butter — This gives the garlic rolls their much-deserved rich and buttery taste.

Sugar — It helps the yeast to activate.

Active dry yeast — This is the star ingredient of the recipe that helps the dough to rise and create light and fluffy rolls on baking.

Luke warm water — This is used for kneading the dough for making the bread.

Garlic herb butter — This is prepared with vegan butter blended with aromatic herbs and spices.

Olive oil — For brushing the dough before baking.

Dried herbs — Parsley, Basil, and Oregano, are essential herbs that deliver flavors and drool-worthy aromas to the recipe.

Recipe Tips and variations

Using fresh yeast is imperative— The key to the best-baked Garlic rolls lies in using a new packet of yeast, as the whole recipe depends on this. Fresh yeast is essential for the bread to rise correctly, and this is something people overlook most while working with yeast! So, before using the yeast sitting in your pantry, recheck for its shelf life. It should have stayed on the expiry date.

Can use quick-rise yeast— Active yeast needs to be bloomed before adding to the flour, but the quick-rise yeast does not require any such process to be followed. It can be added to the flour directly without activating/ blooming. If you prefer to use quick-rise yeast, you can use it freely.

Correct measurement of ingredients essential— The ingredients must be measured correctly to carve out a perfect batch of light and soft Pull-apart Garlic Rolls. Do not add more flour than the recommended quantity, as this will result in heavy and dense rolls that are not appealing.

Never add hot ingredients to the dough— Hot ingredients added to the dough mixture will destroy the yeast before fermentation; therefore, never add them hot. Always add lukewarm ingredients that are easy to blend but do not harm the yeast.

Make the recipe more herbilicious— You could go endlessly creative while selecting herbs and their combinations. Try garlic with dried rosemary or garlic with dried basil or thyme, and either way, any combo of herbs will infuse well with this recipe.

Can use fresh herbs— You can use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs, which creates awesomely aromatic and flavorful rolls.

Let the dough rise in a warm place — Always let the dough rise in a warm place like a warm oven or a warm pantry. An Instant Pot is also ideal for expanding the dough as it provides a constant low heat source, allowing the bread dough to rise faster. Additionally, with the Instant Pot, proofing the dough can cut the rising time by just half!

Without Instant Pot — The ‘Yogurt setting’ on the Instant Pot speeds up the fermentation process, and your dough gets proofed in 30-40 minutes. If your Instant Pot doesn’t have a ‘yogurt setting,’ you must ferment it naturally in a warm oven. Warm the oven at @200 degrees F for 10 minutes, turn it off, and place the dough in the warm oven to rise. It works beautifully

Do not allow the dough to rise beyond the required time— The dough’s rise determines the bread’s final texture. The more the dough rises, the more it will affect the texture of the bread. Therefore, do not let it rise beyond the mentioned time, or else it may develop a robust yeasty smell in the unpleasant baked bread.

Shape the dough however you like— You can shape your dough the way that fancies you. Make small dinner rolls, shape them into a honeycomb pattern, or keep it simple as a loaf; everything works great. Just make sure to adjust the baking time, as it will alter depending on how big or small your dough is.

Make ahead for serving at ease— Though these Pull-apart Garlic Rolls taste great when baked fresh, on a time crunch, you can bake these Garlic Rolls one day ahead and store them in an air-tight container over the countertop.

Freezer-friendly — The bread dough freezes just perfectly. To freeze the dough, shape it the way you want and arrange it in the bundt pan. Wrap it with a plastic cover and place the pan in the freezer. When ready to bake, thaw the dough overnight in the fridge and finish baking as directed. Your delicious fresh-from-the-oven treat is ready to be served!

Non-vegan option — As these are vegan rolls, I have not used cheese. However, the non-vegan variation would consist of a generous topping of cheese on the rolls, which is baked into delicious treats.

Scalable recipe — This delicious recipe for Garlic rolls can be scaled up or down depending on the requirement.
