Garlic bread rolls

This is the first bread recipe that I baked with the help of a recipe that I found on the internet. My anxiety levels were quite high right from the beginning until tasting the garlic bread. The taste was awesome and the flavour of garlic filled my home 🙂

Thanks to dassana amit for the recipe and here is the link for the same – Garlic bread rolls

12. Make a similar roll with the other part of the dough.
13. Slice both the rolls
14. First give a cut from the center and then equally cut the two parts. so you have now 4 equal slices of the rolled dough.
15. Grease a pan in which all the 8 rolls will fit. place the rolls in the pan and brush their tops with remaining garlic butter. cover and let the rolls double up for 35-40 minutes.
