Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (356 °F) for 22–25 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown.

While the rolls bake, melt the salted butter over low heat, remove from heat, then stir in the minced garlic and chopped parsley.

Remove rolls from the oven and generously drizzle the garlic herb butter over each roll.

Sprinkle with grated parmesan and return to the oven for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Serve immediately while hot.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra fluffiness, replace half the milk with lukewarm heavy cream. A pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes in the garlic butter adds a subtle kick.
