Ingredients

Rolls

  • 4 cups (500 g) all-purpose flour, divided, plus more if needed
  • 2 envelopes (about 4 ½ teaspoons) rapid-rise yeast
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups (366 g) whole milk, warmed (110°F-115°F)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced

Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg, room temperature, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

Topping

Instructions

  • To the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, add 3 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix to combine.
  • Add warm milk and egg to the flour mixture. Knead for 2 minutes at medium speed.
  • Add another ½ cup of flour. Knead at medium speed for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the remaining ½ cup of flour, garlic, and chives. Knead until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If the dough seems too wet, add more flour in ¼ cup increments until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl while kneading. If the dough is too dry, add more water in ¼ cup increments.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  • Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • When ready, punch down the dough.
  • Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces and shape into balls. Place into the prepared baking dish.
  • Cover the rolls and let them rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water to make an egg wash. Gently brush the egg wash over the tops of the risen rolls.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
  • As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, generously brush the tops with melted Cowboy Butter.
  • Let the rolls cool slightly, then serve warm.
