# How to Make It:

01 - Place the whole garlic head with the top cut off into a ramekin. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, cover with aluminum foil, and roast in an oven preheated to 320°F (160°C) for 2 hours until soft and buttery.
02 - Mix the roasted garlic with softened butter, chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of the garlic-infused olive oil. Set aside.
03 - In a bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and honey. Let stand for about 10 minutes until frothy.
04 - In a mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, milk powder if using, softened butter, salt, egg yolks, and the proofed yeast mixture.
05 - Knead the dough with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook on medium speed for 15–20 minutes until soft and smooth.
06 - Place the dough in a covered bowl and let it rise in a warm environment (around 85°F / 29°C) for 1 hour 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
07 - Roll the dough out to approximately 1/8 inch thick (about 0.25 cm). Spread the prepared garlic butter evenly over the surface.
08 - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly on top of the buttered dough. Roll the dough tightly into a log.
09 - Using a knife or dental floss, cut the log into 6 equal rolls.
10 - Place the rolls on a baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
11 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush rolls with the egg wash and bake for 20–25 minutes, checking after 20 minutes for a golden brown crust.
12 - Brush the baked rolls with the remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

# Extra Information:

01 - For best flavor, allow the dough to proof fully for a light and fluffy texture.
