Garlic Roll Cupcakes

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions
- Make the dough

- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Punch down dough and divide into 12 pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball and place in a greased 12-cup muffin pan.
- Make garlic butter
- Mix remaining 4 tablespoons butter with minced garlic and parsley.
- Brush & bake
- Brush each roll generously with garlic butter.
- Bake 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.

Tips
- Add shredded Parmesan or mozzarella to the garlic butter for cheesy rolls.
- Can freeze unbaked rolls; thaw and bake later.
- Mini rolls can be made in a mini muffin pan for bite-sized snacks.
If you want a cheesy version, herb mix version, or pull-apart loaf version, I can give that variation too.
