For the Dough

  • ¼ cup Sugar nourishes the yeast
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons Yeast essential for making the dough rise
  • ¼ cup Melted butter adds richness and flavor
  • 2 Large eggs binds the ingredients together

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  • In a large bowl, blend melted butter, salt, eggs, and the frothy yeast mixture. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
  • Flour a surface and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
  • Mix minced garlic with shredded cheese in a bowl for filling.
  • Punch down dough, divide into 12 pieces, flatten, and add cheese-garlic mixture. Pinch dough around filling to seal.
  • Arrange rolls seam-side down in a greased dish, cover, and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) as rolls finish rising.
  • Brush rolls with melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
