Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F)

• ¼ cup warm water

• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1 large egg

For the Garlic Herb Butter Filling:

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon dried basil

• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional for Brushing After Baking:

• 1 tablespoon melted butter

• Additional pinch of dried herbs or grated Parmesan

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add in the melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
   Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

2. Make the Garlic Herb Filling:
   While the dough rises, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside at room temperature.

3. Shape the Rolls:
   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle (about 12×16 inches). Spread the garlic herb butter mixture evenly over the dough.
   Starting from the longer edge, tightly roll the dough into a log, then slice into 10–12 even pieces.

4. Second Rise:
   Arrange the rolls in a greased round or square baking dish. Cover with a clean towel and let rise again for 30–40 minutes, or until puffed up.

5. Bake the Rolls:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. If they brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the remaining time.

6. Finish and Serve:
   Brush the warm rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with a pinch of dried herbs or Parmesan, if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.
