Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Whisk together melted butter, salt, and eggs. Stir in the yeast mixture and add flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let the Dough Rise: Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare the Filling: Mix minced garlic with shredded cheese in a bowl and set aside.
  6. Shape the Rolls: Punch down dough and divide into 12 pieces. Create balls with cheese-garlic filling in the center.
  7. Second Rise: Arrange rolls seam-side down in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat the Oven: While rolls rise, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and brush each roll with melted butter.
  9. Bake the Rolls: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Finish and Serve: Brush rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
