Instructions
 

For the dough

  • Warm up the milk to around 110°F and combine with sugar and yeast; let sit for 7-10 minutes.
  • Add melted butter, egg, egg yolk, flour, and salt; knead until smooth.
  • Shape into a ball, place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours.
  • Roast garlic by drizzling with olive oil, tenting with foil, and baking at 400°F for 30-40 minutes.
  • Punch down risen dough and roll out into a rectangle; prepare filling.

For the filling

  • Process roasted garlic into a paste; spread softened butter on dough, then garlic paste, parsley, and cheese.
  • Roll the dough into a log, seal the seam, and cut into 9 pieces.
  • Place in a lined baking dish, cover, and let rise again for 1-2 hours until puffy.

For overnight rolls, refrigerate filled rolls for up to 10 hours and let come to room temperature before baking. Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for 1 month.
