Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
- 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- In a small bowl, mix warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and butter. Knead until smooth, about 8–10 minutes.
First Rise:

Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Garlic Butter:

Bake:
- Brush rolls with half the garlic butter. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden. Brush with remaining garlic butter while warm.
