Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.

Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the flour. Stir until the dough starts to come together, then knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

Let the dough rise: Lightly grease a bowl with olive oil and place the dough in the bowl, turning it once to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Let the rolls rise again: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes, until puffed and nearly doubled in size.

Bake the rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.

Make garlic butter: While the rolls bake, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt in a small bowl.

Brush with garlic butter: Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush with the garlic butter mixture. Serve warm.
