Instructions

Heat the liquids: Stir together the water and melted butter in a saucepan, then add in the milk and honey and stir until combined. Heat the mixture over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 110°F. It will be warm but not hot to the touch. Alternatively, you can heat the mixture in a microwave until it reaches 110°F.
Add yeast: Pour the liquid mixture into the large bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl if kneading by hand. Sprinkle the yeast on top and stir quickly to combine, then let the yeast activate for 5 minutes until it is foamy.
Mix in dry ingredients: Add in 3 1/2 cups of flour (reserve the rest for later if needed), rosemary, fine sea salt, and garlic powder. Using the dough hook on a stand mixer, beat on medium-low speed until combined. If the dough sticks to the bowl, add flour 1/4 cup at a time (up to 4 cups total) until the dough pulls away from the sides and is slightly sticky. Continue mixing on low speed for 4 to 5 minutes until smooth. If kneading by hand, stir flour into the wet ingredients until combined, then knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth.
Let the dough rise: Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a damp towel or foil and let it rise in a warm spot for 15 minutes, allowing it to slightly puff.
Prep oven and baking dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Form the rolls: Punch down the risen dough gently. Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces, shaping each into a smooth ball. Arrange the dough balls in the greased baking dish. Cover with a damp towel or foil and let rise for another 15 to 20 minutes until slightly puffed.
Bake: Remove the cover and bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Make the garlic butter: While the rolls bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the sliced garlic and simmer gently for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and strain out the garlic slices. Stir in the chopped parsley until well combined.
Serve warm: Brush the garlic herb butter generously over the hot rolls and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the fragrant, tender dinner rolls.

Notes

To make the rolls by hand, complete steps 2 and 3 in a large bowl, then knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth.
If using iodized table salt instead of fine sea salt, reduce the quantity to 1/2 teaspoon.
If you prefer garlic butter with garlic pieces, finely mince the garlic instead of slicing. Alternatively, substitute fresh garlic with garlic powder in the butter.
