- Garlic butter: Mix roasted garlic with softened butter, chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of garlic oil, then set aside.

- Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, milk powder, softened butter, salt, the two egg yolks, and the yeast mixture.
- Knead dough: Knead the dough using a dough hook attachment on medium speed for 15-20 minutes until soft and smooth.
- 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: Roll out the dough to about 1/4 cm thickness, then spread the prepared garlic butter evenly over the surface.
