Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Combine 1 cup of warm milk, 2 teaspoons of instant yeast, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl. Let sit until frothy.
  2. Mix in 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add 3 to 4 cups of all-purpose flour until smooth and slightly sticky.
  3. Knead dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  4. In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of softened butter with 4 cloves of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs.
  5. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Spread the garlic butter filling evenly over it.
  6. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into sections, about 1.5 inches thick. Place in a greased baking dish, cut-side up.
  7. Let the rolls rise covered with a cloth for 30-45 minutes until puffy. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
