Wanted garlic bread with a basic spaghetti dinner and improvised by creating a whole wheat garlic dinner roll. Turned out excellent and thought I should share this wonderful, easy, and delicious dinner roll recipe.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These fluffy garlic knot rolls will be your favorite side alongside a bowl of soup or a plate of pasta. They are a cross between a garlic dinner roll and a garlic knot. It's a great, basic roll recipe that has just enough butter and garlic. Another option for serving these is alongside warm marinara sauce for dipping as a snack.

Ingredients

GARLIC DINNER ROLLS
1 cup water, warm
1 package active dry yeast (2 Tbsp)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 large egg
1 large egg white
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
BUTTER TOPPING
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1 pinch garlic powder

How To Make garlic dinner knot rolls

Step 1

Combine water, salt, sugar, and garlic powder in mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast across top of a large mixing bowl and allow to stand for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Slightly beat 1 egg and 1 egg white in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes or allow your eggs to become room temperature before beginning. The colder your eggs, the more you need a warm space to rise later when mixed.
Step 3

Place 4 cups all-purpose flour on top of the dissolved yeast. Make a well in the flour and pour the beaten egg mixture.
Step 4

Take a large paddle-shaped spoon and stir the mixture until it comes together and is able to knead.
Step 5

Knead the bread right within the bowl. Adding 1 Tablespoon of whole wheat flour at a time, knead the dough until uniform (elastic-like stage). Not too dry, but to the point you can turn it without the dough sticking to your surface.
Step 6

Lightly grease your bowl, turning the dough to ensure it is greased.
Step 7

Cover with a clean towel and allow to rise. I turn my oven on "warm" for a few minutes and then turn it off, setting the covered bowl inside the closed oven. Let rise until doubled.
Step 8

Take the dough and punch it down. Do not knead additional flour, but begin twisting off handful portions, pulling them into lengths and tying into a knot.
Step 9

Place each knot into a greased muffin pan.
Step 10

Cover with the same towel and allow to rise for about 15 - 20 minutes.
Step 11

Remove the pan from the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. My oven and darker pans only took 10 minutes.
Step 12

Prepare the garlic butter.
Step 13

Remove rolls and brush with garlic butter. Place back into the oven and bake another 2 minutes.
Step 14

Remove from muffin tins onto wire rack and enjoy.
