Garlic Buns

Ingredients:

• 400 grams (3¼ cups) all-purpose flour
• 50 grams (1/4 cup) sugar
• 1 cup lukewarm milk
• 5 grams (1 teaspoon) salt
• 7 grams dry yeast
• 55 grams (1/4 cup) butter
• 1 large egg
• 8 grams (1 tablespoon) minced garlic

Garlic Butter:

• 55 grams (1/3 cup) salted butter, melted
• 8 grams (1 tablespoon) minced garlic
• 1 gram (2 teaspoons) dried parsley

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast. Mix thoroughly. Pour in the lukewarm milk and add the egg.
2. Knead the dough with a mixer for 5 minutes. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest for 20 minutes. Add the softened butter and minced garlic, then continue kneading until the dough becomes elastic.
3. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
4. Once risen, transfer the dough to a work surface and shape it into a square. Divide it into 25 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Cover the balls and let them rest for 15 minutes.
5. Slightly flatten each ball by tucking in the edges and place them in a greased baking pan. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, prepare the garlic butter by combining minced garlic, dried parsley, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix well.
7. Brush the tops of the risen rolls with the garlic butter and bake them in a preheated 350°F oven for 15-17 minutes.
8. Once out of the oven and still warm, brush the rolls with a little more garlic butter before serving.
