- Make Garlic Butter: When the garlic is ready, mix it with softened butter, chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of the garlic oil, then set aside.
- Prepare Yeast Mixture: In a bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and honey. Let it proof for about 10 minutes until frothy this is when the magic happens!
- Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, milk powder, softened butter, salt, two egg yolks, and the yeast mixture.

- Proof 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.
- Roll Out Dough: Once ready, roll out the dough to about 1/4 cm (or 1/8 inch) thickness. Spread the prepared garlic butter evenly over the surface.
