Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.75 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Whisk them together to ensure they are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Add the warm water, melted butter, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 6

Punch the dough down, then divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small ball.

Step 7

Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and fresh parsley.

Step 9

Brush the butter-garlic mixture generously over the dough balls. Reserve some of the mixture for post-baking.

Step 10

Bake the garlic bites in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove the garlic bites from the oven and immediately brush them with the remaining butter-garlic mixture.

Step 12

If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the tops for an extra touch of flavor.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy!
