Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Additional melted butter for brushing

Parmesan cheese for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly on top.

    Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, and fresh parsley, and mix until well incorporated.

      Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

        Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

          Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, leaving some space between each roll.

            Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until puffy.

              Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

                Brush the tops of the rolls with additional melted butter, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.

                  Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through.

                    Once baked, remove from the oven and brush with more melted butter. Let them cool slightly before serving.

                        - Presentation Tips: Serve warm in the baking dish or transfer to a decorative basket lined with a cloth napkin. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
