  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise for 1 hour.
  • In a separate bowl, mix shredded cheese, minced garlic, softened butter, chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
  • After the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle (about 12x18 inches).
  • Spread the cheese and garlic mixture evenly over the dough.
  • Roll the dough tightly from the long side, pinch to seal, and cut into 12 equal pieces.
  • Place cut pieces into a greased muffin tin with cut side facing up and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  • Brush tops of each cruffin with melted butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.

  • Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
