Ingredients for Homemade Garlic Buns
You’ll need just a few basic ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast (about 2 ¼ teaspoons)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (to help activate the yeast)
- ¾ cup warm milk (not too hot, around 110°F/45°C)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg (for an egg wash, optional)
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced (or more for extra garlic flavor)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for garlic butter mixture)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra garlicky flavor)
How to Make Homemade Garlic Buns
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and stir gently. Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly. This means the yeast is activated and ready to make your buns rise.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture, along with the melted butter. Mix the ingredients together until a dough begins to form. You can use a spoon or your hands to incorporate everything into a shaggy dough.
Step 3: Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour as you knead. If it’s too dry, add a tablespoon of warm water at a time to reach the right consistency.
