1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
11 -
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
12 -
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
13 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
# Steps:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast thoroughly.
02 -
Form a well in the dry mixture and pour in the warm milk, melted butter, and warm water. Add the egg and blend the mixture until combined.
03 -
Using your hands or a wooden spoon, knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes until a smooth, elastic consistency is achieved.
04 -
Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in volume.
05 -
While the dough is rising, combine minced garlic, softened butter, and chopped parsley in a small bowl until fully blended.
06 -
Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
07 -
Transfer risen dough onto a floured work surface and roll into a large rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick. Evenly spread garlic butter mixture over dough, then sprinkle grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
08 -
Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the filled dough into a log. Slice into 8 to 10 equal segments according to tin size.
09 -
Arrange each dough segment vertically into the muffin tin cavities. Cover with a towel and allow to rise for 20 minutes until slightly puffy.
10 -
Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
11 -
Let cruffins cool slightly before lifting out of the tin. Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional chopped parsley.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best dough development.

Use freshly grated cheeses for optimal melt and flavor.
