Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a mixing bowl. Create a well in the center, pour in warm milk, melted butter, warm water, and egg. Mix until smooth. Knead for 8-10 minutes.
  2. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  3. Prepare the filling by mixing minced garlic, softened butter, and parsley in a small bowl until well combined.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
  5. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the garlic butter filling and top with cheeses. Roll tightly and slice into portions.
  6. Place the sliced portions into the greased muffin tin, cover, and let rise for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the towel and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool slightly before serving warm to enjoy the layers of gooey cheese and garlic.
