Sweet garlic rolls recipe

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 5 large garlic cloves, sliced
  • 2¼ cups plain flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 8g sachet instant dry yeast
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 40g butter, room temperature
  • sea salt flakes

 

1 Put sugar and ½ cup water in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to the boil. Add garlic and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12-15 minutes or until mixture turns golden. Pour on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cool. Break into pieces and pulse in a food processor until finely chopped.

2 Preheat oven to 200C. Lightly grease a 20cm square cake pan with butter. Combine flour, salt and yeast in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add 1 egg (beaten). Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan until butter is melted and milk is blood temperature. Add to flour mixture and stir until dough forms. Mix ½ cup sugar/garlic mixture into dough. Knead on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes or until smooth. Divide mixture into 12. Lightly knead each and form into bread rolls.

3 Put rolls in prepared cake pan and stand in a warm place for 30 minutes or until rolls double in size. Brush with 1 egg (whisked) and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
