First add the milk, water and butter to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave it for about 1 min or so until it is stilghtly warm to touch (In the range of about 110 - 120 F).
Transfer the milk mixture to a larger mixing bowl. Add the sugar, salt and yeast to the warm milk mixture and mix well until combined. Leave it aside for 1 min.
Now, add about ¾ Cup of all purpose flour to the bowl and mix well until combined. Add ¼ Cup of flour at a time to the dough and keep working until combined. Keep adding the flour until the dough reaches the desired consistency.
Transfer the dough to a smooth surface and knead for about 10 mins. Initially the dough will be sticky but eventually you should get a non sticky bouncy dough. Keep the dough covered for about 15 mins with a damp cloth in a dark place. The dough would slightly rise.
Meanwhile, add the garlic, parsley and olive oil to a blender/mixie and grind to a coarse paste. Keep aside.
Transfer the dough back to the smooth surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle with a thickness of about ¼ inch. Add the ground herb garlic paste to the top of the flattened dough.
Evenly spread out the herb garlic paste on top of the dough. Now sprinkle the parmesan evenly on top of the dough.
Roll the dough carefully across the long end of the rectangle. Roll completely until you get the shape of a log. Make sure to seal the loose edges together.Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
Transfer the pieces to a greased 9X9 square pan. Cover the pan with a wet cloth and leave it in a dark place for about 45 mins until it doubles in size.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease the top of the rolls with olive oil and then bake the rolls in the oven for about 20 mins until nicely golden on top.
Serve warm.
Notes | FAQ
- Adjust the quantity of garlic and parmesan cheese as per taste.- For a milder garlic flavor, substitute fresh garlic with garlic powder as needed.- The quantity of flour needed would depend on the brand used and altitude where cooking. That is the reason why we add ¼ Cup of flour at a time. You might require less or more than 2 Cups of flour. So do adjust looking at the consistency of the dough.- The liquid should be warm while adding the yeast. If it is cold, the yeast will not activate. If it is too hot, the yeast will be killed.
