Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and fragrant. Once cool, mince the roasted garlic cloves finely and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast until evenly combined.
Add the warm water, olive oil, minced roasted garlic, and chopped fresh herbs to the flour mixture. Stir everything together with a wooden spoon or dough whisk until a sticky dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise at room temperature for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it has doubled in size and bubbles appear on the surface.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round ball by folding the edges underneath to create surface tension. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or greased cast iron skillet with space between each.
Cover the rolls loosely with a towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through. Optionally, brush tops with olive oil or melted butter immediately after baking.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or store as desired.
