Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast a whole head of garlic wrapped in aluminum foil for 30-35 minutes until soft. Cool, then mix with softened butter and chopped parsley.
  2. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of warm milk, 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
  3. In a stand mixer, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of bread flour, 1 tablespoon of milk powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the garlic butter mixture. Add 2 egg yolks and frothy yeast mixtures, then mix to form smooth dough.
  4. Increase mixer speed to medium and knead the dough for an additional 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for about 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  6. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread garlic butter on surface and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  7. Starting from one edge, roll the dough into a log and cut into portions about 1.5 inches thick. Place on a lined baking sheet.
  8. Cover rolls with a towel and proof for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Brush with remaining garlic butter after baking.
  10. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
