Directions

  1. 1In a bowl, combine milk, sugar, and yeast.
  2. 2Stir until the yeast dissolves, then add the egg and mix well.
  3. 3Add the flour, salt, basil, oregano and garlic powder, then mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. 4Gradually knead in the softened butter until the dough becomes smooth and elastic (about 8–10 minutes by hand or 5–6 minutes using a stand mixer).
  5. 5Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. 6Prepare the garlic butter filling: In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, salt, basil, oregano, parsley, and minced garlic.
  7. 7Transfer to a piping bag (optional).
  8. 8Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 portions (75g each) and shape each into a ball.
  9. 9Roll out each ball into a rectangle.
  10. 10Pipe the garlic butter filling down the center and spread using spatula.
  11. 11Add 2–3 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese over the filling, then fold the dough over to enclose it.
  12. 12Seal the edges tightly.
  13. 13Using a knife, cut the bottom part of the dough into thin strips, then wrap toward the top to form a braided effect.
  14. 14Pinch both ends to keep the filling sealed.
  15. 15Arrange the rolls on a lined baking pan, cover, and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes, or until puffy.
  16. 16Brush the tops with egg wash, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 18–20 minutes, or until golden.
  17. 17Melt any leftover garlic butter filling and brush it over the warm rolls.
  18. 18Sprinkle with parsley and enjoy while warm!
