Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) warm water, 105–115°F (40–46°C)
- 1 tbsp (12 g) granulated sugar
- 2¼ tsp (7 g; 1 packet) instant (rapid-rise) yeast
- 2¾–3 cups (330–360 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (6 g) fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
- 3 tbsp (42 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- 3 cloves (9–12 g) garlic, finely minced (or ¾ tsp garlic powder)
- ½ cup (45 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1–2 tbsp (3–6 g) fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- Whisk warm water and sugar in a large bowl. Sprinkle in yeast, whisk briefly.
- Add 2¾ cups flour and salt; stir until shaggy. Drizzle in olive oil; fold to combine. Dough should be sticky.
- Cover and rise 35–45 minutes until doubled.
- Scrape onto floured surface, divide into 12 pieces (55–65 g each). Roll into balls, rest 10 minutes.
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F (177°C) for 3 minutes. Place 6 balls on parchment in basket. Air fry 8 minutes.
- Brush with butter-oil-garlic mixture, sprinkle Parmesan, return to air fryer 2–4 minutes until golden and 195–200°F inside. Repeat with remaining rolls.
- Stir butter, olive oil, garlic, parsley, and pinch salt. Brush warm rolls. Finish with extra Parmesan if desired. For more color, air fry 1–2 minutes extra.
Notes
Sticky dough = soft rolls, resist extra flour. Air fry in two stages for golden tops without dryness. Use oiled hands if dough is too sticky. Dairy-free, gluten-free, and seasoning swaps available.
