Directions:

1. 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.

2. Make garlic butter: When the garlic is ready, mix it with softened butter, chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of the garlic oil. Set aside.

3. Prepare yeast mixture: In a bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and honey. Let it proof for about 10 minutes until frothy.

4. Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, milk powder, softened butter, salt, two egg yolks, and yeast mixture.

5. Knead dough: Use a dough hook attachment on medium speed to knead the dough for 15-20 minutes until soft and smooth.

6. Proof the 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.

7. Roll out dough: Roll out the dough to about 1/4 cm (or 1/8 inch) thickness. Spread the prepared garlic butter evenly over the surface.

8. Add mozzarella: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, then tightly roll the dough into a log.

9. Cut dough: Cut the dough into 6 equal portions using a knife or dental floss.
