1In a small pot heat milk to a low simmer. Turn off the heat and add in butter and sugar. Dissolve sugar and ensure butter is completely melted. Set aside to cool.
2Dissolve yeast in warm water. Give it one smaller and set aside until make sure is foamy/active. Set aside
3In a stand mixer, mixing bowl, combine milk, eggs, sugar and butter mixture, along with the active yeast, salt and 3 cups of flour first. Using a dough hook knead the dough on low for 1-2 minutes. Scraping the sides when necessary.
4Continue to add another cup of flour until all 6 cups are incorporated into the mix. Knead the dough until smooth. About 5-6 mins.
5On a clean and generously floured surface, pour all of the dough onto the surface and knead by hand for 3 to 4 minutes. Add flour if the dough is too sticky— up to 1/4 cup of flour is ok. Formed the dough into one ball and place in an oiled mixing bowl. Cover and let it rise for one hour.
6Preheat the oven to 350°F
7Uncover the dough and punch down on the dough to get rid of large air bubbles. (Just 4-5 punches)
8Cut them into 12 equal pieces. Tuck and roll the edges to form a flat round ball. Then place it on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 20 to 22 minutes, depending on your oven.
9In a small bowl, combine melted butter, freshly grated garlic, and finally minced parsley. Mix well.
10Brush the rolls with garlic butter and finish it off with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Enjoy while warm!
