• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

1. 
   

   Start by roasting the garlic. Peel 3 garlic heads and place them in a ramekin. Drizzle with 4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 302°F (150°C) for about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

   
   
2. 
   

   Prepare the dough. In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup (120 ml) warm milk, 2 ½ tsp (8 g) active dry yeast, and 1 tsp honey. Stir and let it sit in a warm area for 10-15 minutes until foamy.

   
   
3. 
   

   Add 2 eggs, slightly over 1 ¾ cups (230 g) all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup (50 g) bread flour, 1 ½ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp granulated sugar. Use a stand mixer with the dough hook to knead on medium-low speed for 15 minutes. Then add 2 ½ tbsp (35 g) soft, unsalted butter and knead for another 10 minutes. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

   
   
4. 
   

   Let the dough proof for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours at a temperature of 80.6°F (27°C).

   
   
5. 
   

   While the dough is proofing, chop parsley to have about 4 tbsp, and shred mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

   
   
6. 
   

   Prepare the garlic butter by mashing 3 ½ tbsp (50 g) soft unsalted butter, 3 tbsp fresh and chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, and the previously roasted garlic in a bowl.

   
   
7. 
   

   Roll out the dough, spread the garlic butter, and sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top.

   
   
8. 
   

   Cut the dough into 6 strips and roll each one. Place them in a prepared pan lined with parchment paper and let them proof for another 30 minutes.

   
   
9. 
   

   Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C). Beat one egg for the egg wash and brush each roll with the egg. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
