- 370 g bread flour (2 ¾ cup )
- 30 g whole wheat flour (¼ cup )
- 4 g sea salt (½ tsp )
- 25 g unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces. (Soften if kneading by hand) (2 tbsp )
- ½ tbsp minced garlic (from about 4 - 6 garlic cloves)

Instructions
- 1
Mix water, milk, sugar, yeast and flour in a stand mixer, mixing until the dough is formed. Cover and let it sit for 15 minutes.
- 2
After 15 minutes, turn on the mixer and add salt before adding 2 pieces of butter. Knead until the butter is all absorbed by the dough.
- 3
Repeat the the above step for the rest of the butter and continue to knead about 5 minutes until you get a dough with a smooth surface. If you do it by hand, it might seem impossible to knead in the butter and it may become greasy, but just keep kneading and before long you will end up with a smooth dough.
- 4
Form the dough into a ball and put it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let the dough rest in a warm place (82°F to 90°F) for about an hour until it doubles in size.
- 5
Meanwhile, add garlic, salt, garlic powder, olive oil and butter in a bowl and microwave for 20 seconds. Stir and microwave for another 30 seconds. Set it aside to let it cool down before using.
- 6
Roll the dough out into a 11" x 16" rectangle on a working surface with the shorter edge being closer to you.
- 7
Brush on the garlic butter mix, reserving about 2 tsp of the oil.
- 8
Sprinkle scallion and Parmesan evenly on the dough.
- 9
Fold the bottom ⅓ of the dough up and the top ⅓ down.
- 10
Using a rolling pin, gently roll the dough forward and back a few more times and then cut the dough into 12-14 long strips (see pictures in post).
- 11
Take a piece of dough, gently stretch it a little bit before wrapping around your fingers and tucking the end in the hole from the bottom and removing it from your hand (see gif in post).
- 12
Sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top of each roll and cover with a piece of lightly greased plastic wrap to let it proof at room temperature for 1 - 2 hour until it's puffy and the layers begin to separate.
- 13
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) in the last 20 minutes of proving. Bake for 16-18 minutes until the tops are golden brown.

Brushed with the leftover garlic butter on top and let it cool down for 5-10 minutes before enjoying.
