2 1/3 cups (314g) bread flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon (6g) kosher salt

4 teaspoons (16g) sugar

3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter at room temperature

1/16 to 1/8 teaspoon flaky finishing salt

1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter at room temperature

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon fresh parsley

2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Instructions

In a small saucepan, whisk together the 1/3 cup whole milk and 2 tablespoons bread flour over medium heat until thickened to form the tangzhong, then let it cool.
In a large bowl, combine the 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon whole milk and active dry yeast; let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
Add the cooled tangzhong, 2 1/3 cups bread flour, 1 egg, kosher salt, and sugar to the yeast mixture; mix until a dough forms.
Incorporate the butter pieces into the dough and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
Grease a bowl with neutral oil, place the dough in it, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the compound butter by mixing the 1/4 cup unsalted butter, garlic powder, minced parsley, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano in a bowl.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal pieces; roll each into a ball and dip in the compound butter.
Arrange the dough balls in the prepared baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Brush the tops with the remaining egg and sprinkle with flaky finishing salt and additional Parmesan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown; serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the compound butter. Ensure the dough rises adequately for the best texture.
