Ingredients
  

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk, warmed to 110°F

1/2 cup water, warmed to 110°F

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for dough)

1 large egg, at room temperature

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Freshly ground salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, gently combine the warm water, warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly, indicating that the yeast is activated.

    Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until evenly mixed. Create a well in the center of the flour combination, then pour in the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, and add the egg. Stir until a sticky but cohesive dough starts to form.

      Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm environment for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

        Prepare the Garlic Mixture: While the dough rises, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture, setting it aside for later use.

          Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, rolling each piece into a smooth ball. Dip each ball into the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

            Assemble the Rolls: In a greased bundt pan or round baking dish, arrange the coated dough balls in clusters, stacking them close together for pull-apart magic. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter mixture over the top of the assembled rolls.

              Allow for Second Rise: Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the rolls to puff up and expand.

                Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot and ready once the rolls are finished rising.

                  Bake the Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and have a delightful aroma.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes in the pan. Carefully flip the bundt pan onto a serving plate to release the rolls. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley and grated Parmesan for an extra touch of flavor.

                      Prep Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 2 hours | Servings: 12 rolls

                        - Serving Suggestion: For an even more decadent experience, serve the rolls with a side of warm marinara or ranch dipping sauce. Enjoy your delicious cheesy garlic bliss!
