4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted for dough
1 large egg
4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted for garlic butter
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

3. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 60–90 minutes until doubled.
5. In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
6. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and roll into balls.
7. Dip each ball into garlic butter mixture and arrange in a circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. Cover loosely and let rise 30 minutes until slightly puffed.
9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
10. Brush with remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving warm.
Notes
Make sure your milk is warm but not hot to properly activate the yeast.
For extra flavor, add shredded mozzarella inside each dough ball before shaping.
Store leftovers tightly wrapped and reheat in foil to keep the bread soft.
