Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 grams all purpose flour
  • 7 grams active dry yeast
  • 240 milliliters warm whole milk
  • 50 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
  • 10 whole garlic cloves, peeled
  • 240 milliliters olive oil
  • 200 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to about 38 degrees Celsius. In a bowl, dissolve active dry yeast in the warm milk with granulated sugar and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add all purpose flour, salt, eggs, and softened butter to the yeast mixture. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Meanwhile, place the peeled garlic cloves and olive oil in a small saucepan. Cook over very low heat for 20 to 25 minutes until the garlic is soft and tender but not browned. Let cool.
  5. Divide the risen dough into 12 equal pieces and shape into smooth balls.
  6. Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Gently press softened garlic confit into the tops of the rolls.
  7. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes until puffy.
  8. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  9. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the rolls.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  11. Brush the tops with a little garlic infused oil from the confit and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Keep the garlic fully submerged in oil while cooking to prevent browning.
  • Do not skip the second rise for soft and fluffy texture.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
