Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 🥛 1 cup warm whole milk (110°F/43°C)
  • 🍯 2 tablespoons honey
  • 🧈 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 🥚 1 large egg
  • 🌾 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 🍚 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt

For the garlic filling:

  • 🧈 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 🧀 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 🌿 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 🌶️ 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)

For the topping:

  • 🧈 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 🌿 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough:

    • In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, honey, melted butter, and egg. Mix well.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
    • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
    • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the garlic filling:

    • In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.
  3. Assemble the rolls:

    • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
    • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12×18 inches (30×45 cm).
    • Evenly spread the garlic filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
    • Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
    • Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
    • Place the rolls, cut side up, into a greased 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
    • Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  4. Bake the rolls:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
  5. Prepare the topping:

    • While the rolls are baking, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
  6. Finish and serve:

    • As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter topping.
    • Serve warm, and watch them disappear!
