Instructions
Roast garlic: In a ramekin, place one whole garlic head with the top sliced off, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, cover with aluminum foil, and roast at 160°C (320°F) for 2 hours until buttery soft. Let cool.
Make garlic butter: Squeeze soft garlic into a bowl, mash it and mix with 50 grams softened butter, chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of garlic oil from the ramekin. Set aside.
Prep yeast mixture: Combine 90 grams warm milk with 7 grams active dry yeast and 25 grams honey; let proof for about 10 minutes until frothy.
Mix dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour types, sugar, milk powder, 25 grams butter, salt, egg yolks, and the yeast mixture, mixing until it comes together.
Knead dough: Use a dough hook to knead on medium speed for 15-20 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth.
First proof: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let proof in a warm spot for 1 hour 30 minutes until doubled in size.
Roll out dough: Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1 1/4 mm thickness. Spread garlic butter evenly over it.
Add mozzarella: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough.
Roll into log: Roll the dough tightly starting from one edge.
Cut dough: Cut the log into 6 equal portions.
Second proof: Place rolls on a baking sheet, cover, and let proof for another 30 minutes until puffy.
Bake: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Brush with egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes.
