Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 10 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 50 grams Butter (melted)
- 5 grams Garlic powder
- 10 grams Fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Step 2
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until a rough ball forms.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Punch down the risen dough to release the air and divide it into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
Step 7
Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let rise for another 20 minutes.
Step 8
Bake the dough balls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Step 9
While the dough balls are baking, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
Step 10
Once baked, remove the dough balls from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic and parsley butter.
Step 11
Serve warm as a delightful side or with your favorite dip.
