  • Total Time: 135 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 garlic heads, peeled
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup (120 ml) warm milk
  • 2 ½ tsp (8 g) active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Slightly over 1 ¾ cups (230 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (50 g) bread flour
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ tbsp (35 g) soft, unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cups, after shredded (200 g) mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup, freshly grated (45 g) parmesan cheese
  • 3 ½ tbsp (50 g) soft, unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp parsley
  • Pinch of salt
  • Previously roasted garlic
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  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.

Notes

These rolls are best served warm right out of the oven. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a side of marinara sauce.
