Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 45 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for sautéing garlic)
  • 1 egg yolk + splash of milk (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add eggs, sugar, and salt. Mix in the flour gradually, then add softened butter.
  3. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours.
  4. Punch down the dough, divide into equal portions, and flatten each piece.
  5. Add a spoonful of cheese in the center, fold, and shape into rolls.
  6. Place rolls in a greased or lined baking pan. Let rise again for 30 minutes.
  7. Sauté garlic in olive oil or butter, then brush rolls generously with the mixture.
  8. Brush egg wash over the tops and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Brush again with garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Let the dough rise fully for the softest texture.
  • Use cheese that melts well for the perfect pull-apart effect.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container and reheat in the oven.
