Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Cut off the top of the garlic bulb, drizzle with oil, wrap in foil, and bake for 2 hours until tender.
  2. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup softened butter with roasted garlic cloves, a pinch of salt, and chopped parsley to create garlic butter.
  3. Combine 1 cup warm milk, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 2 teaspoons yeast in a small bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
  4. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup bread flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup milk powder, and 2 teaspoons salt. Add the yeast mixture, 2 beaten egg yolks, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Knead for 15-20 minutes until smooth.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it and let it rise in a warm area for about 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and roll it out. Spread garlic butter on the dough and add shredded mozzarella. Roll tightly and slice into 6 pieces.
  7. Place the pieces cut-side up on a baking sheet. Let them proof for another 30 minutes covered loosely.
  8. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Brush tops with egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
