- Roast garlic: In a ramekin, place one whole garlic head (cut the top off), drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, cover with aluminum foil, and roast at 160°C (320°F) for 2 hours until buttery soft.
- Garlic butter: When the garlic is ready, mix with softened butter, chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of the garlic oil, then set aside.
- Yeast mixture: In a bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and honey, then let it proof for about 10 minutes until frothy.
- Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, milk powder, softened butter, salt, two egg yolks, and the yeast mixture.
- Knead dough: Knead the dough using a dough hook attachment on medium speed for 15-20 minutes until soft and smooth.
- Proof dough: Place the dough in a covered bowl and let it proof in a warm place (around 29°C or 85°F) for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
- Roll out dough: Roll out the dough to about 1/4 cm (or 1/8 inch) thickness, then spread the prepared garlic butter evenly over the surface.
