Garlic Butter Bread Rolls with a Buttery Twist – butter swim biscuits easy recipes

Garlic butter bread rolls remind me of the kind of warm comfort food that vanishes the moment it hits the table. These rolls are fluffy in the center, golden on the outside, and soaked through with garlicky, herby butter that makes them almost impossible to stop eating. I’ve made them during holiday chaos, lazy Sundays, and even once at midnight because I couldn’t get them out of my head. You’ll only need a few ingredients—nothing fancy—and no mixer or kneading required. That’s the kind of kitchen victory I love. They rise up like they’ve got something to prove and come out of the oven smelling like the kind of bakery you wish was next door. If you’re like me and always hovering around the oven with a spoonful of melted butter 'just in case they need more,' this recipe is right up your alley. It’s based on the butter swim biscuits easy recipes but turned into rolls—soft, rich, and unapologetically buttery. Trust me, your kitchen will smell amazing, your fingers will be greasy, and you’ll love every bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Don’t overmix—it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy.
  4. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the minced garlic and parsley (if using) to the butter.
  5. Pour half of the butter mixture into a greased 9-inch round baking dish.
  6. Scoop the dough over the melted butter and gently spread it into an even layer.
  7. Pour the remaining garlic butter over the top of the dough.
  8. Use a knife to lightly score the top into 12 sections, which makes it easier to separate the rolls after baking.
  9. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Let them cool for 5 minutes before diving in—if you can wait that long!

Notes

If you don’t have buttermilk, just add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of milk and let it sit for 10 minutes. Works like a charm.
