Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Allow to rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, and finely chopped herbs until well combined.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the garlic filling evenly, roll tightly, and slice into equal pieces.
  5. Second Rise: Place the cut rolls into a greased baking dish, cover with a towel, and let rise for 30-60 minutes until puffed.
  6. Bake the Rolls: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle chili flakes if desired.

Notes

Ensure the water is warm to activate the yeast without killing it. Knead well for a fluffy texture and keep an eye on the rolls while they bake to avoid overbaking.
