📝 Preparation Steps
1
First things first, let's get that garlic ready. Cut the top off a whole garlic head, place it in a small oven safe dish, drizzle with olive oil, and add a pinch of salt. Cover it up with foil.

2
Pop it into a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for about ⏱️ 2 hours. You want it to be super soft and spreadable. Let it cool down completely before moving on.
3
Once your roasted garlic is cool, mash it up in a bowl. Add the softened butter, chopped fresh parsley, and about 2 tablespoons of the flavorful oil from the roasted garlic. Mix it all together until it's well combined. This garlic butter is pure gold. Set it aside for now; we'll use it to make our rolls incredibly delicious.

In a small bowl, combine your warm milk, active dry yeast, and honey. Give it a gentle stir and let it sit for about ⏱️ 10 minutes. You're looking for a nice frothy top, which means your yeast is alive and ready to work its magic.

Now, let's bring the dough together. In a larger mixing bowl, combine your all purpose flour, bread flour (if using), sugar, milk powder (if you have it), softened butter, salt, and the egg yolks. Pour in that frothy yeast mixture. It's starting to look like dough already!

Time to get your hands (or a mixer) in there. Knead the dough for about 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes. If you're using a stand mixer with a dough hook, medium speed is your friend here. You want a dough that's soft, smooth, and elastic. This step is crucial for getting those wonderfully soft and fluffy rolls. Don't rush it!
7
Place your kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth. Let it rest in a warm spot for about ⏱️ 1 hour and ⏱️ 30 minutes. It needs to double in size. Patience here is key. A well-proofed dough is the secret to light and airy rolls. This is a great time to prep other things for your brunch.
8
Once the dough has doubled, punch it down gently. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 cm or 1/8 inch thick. Spread that amazing garlic butter you made all over the surface, leaving a small border. Now, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the butter. Tightly roll up the dough into a log, just like you're making cinnamon rolls. This is where the magic happens for those cheesy centers!
9
Using a sharp knife or even some unflavored dental floss (for cleaner cuts!), divide the dough log into 6 equal portions. Dental floss works surprisingly well for this!
10
Arrange your cut rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they have a little space between them. Cover them loosely and let them proof for another ⏱️ 30 minutes. They should look nice and puffy.
11
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it's heating, whisk up your egg wash (just one egg) and brush it over the tops of the proofed rolls. This gives them a lovely golden sheen.

Bake for 20 to ⏱️ 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as ovens can vary. You want them golden brown and beautifully baked through.
13
As soon as they come out of the oven, brush them with any leftover garlic butter you might have. A final sprinkle of fresh parsley looks beautiful and adds a burst of freshness. Serve these warm and watch them disappear! They are perfect as one of your easy brunch recipes.
