Instructions

Roast the garlic by placing it in a ramekin with olive oil and salt, covered with aluminum foil. Bake at 160°C (320°F) for about 2 hours until soft.
Mix the roasted garlic with softened butter, parsley, and some garlic oil to create garlic butter.
Proof yeast in warm milk mixed with honey for about 10 minutes until frothy.
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, softened butter, salt, egg yolks, milk powder (if using), and the yeast mixture.
Knead the dough for 15–20 minutes until smooth. Let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 90 minutes).
Roll out the dough, spread with garlic butter, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, roll into logs, cut into portions, and let them rise again for 30 minutes on a baking sheet.
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F), brush rolls with egg wash, then bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
Brush with leftover garlic butter before serving.
