Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Swirl Rolls
  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and granulated sugar, then sprinkle active dry yeast on top. Allow to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, and salt, then add the yeast mixture. Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball and prepare for its first rise.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare the filling by mixing softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  6. After the first rise, punch down the dough, roll it into a rectangle, spread the filling, and roll it tightly into a log. Slice into rolls.
  7. Arrange the sliced rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once risen, bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
