• 50 g granulated sugar
• 3 g salt
• 6 g active yeast
• 50 g large egg
• 245 g whole milk
• 22 g softened butter (for bread)
• 225 g cheese
• 45 g softened butter (for topping)
• 35 g granulated sugar (for topping)
• 10 g minced garlic
• 45 g egg (for topping)
• 35 g cake flour
• 12 g almond flour
• 1 tsp dried parsley flakes

1. 1Add bread flour, 50g granulated sugar, active yeast, and salt into a large metal stand mixer bowl.
2. 2Pour 245g whole milk and 50g beaten egg into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
3. 3Attach a dough hook and mix the ingredients until they form a cohesive, pale yellow dough.
4. 4Add 22g softened butter and 4g black squid ink to the dough, then continue kneading until fully incorporated, resulting in a smooth, elastic, uniformly dark grey/black dough.
5. 5Shape the black dough into a ball, place it in a clear glass bowl, cover, and let it rise until it doubles in size.
6. 6Gently punch down the risen dough, transfer it to a lightly floured wooden board, gently knead, and divide into 9 equal portions, rounding each into a ball.
7. 7Flatten each dough ball into a disk, place diced yellow cheese in the center, and carefully gather and seal the edges to fully enclose the cheese, forming a neat, round ball.
8. 8Arrange the cheese-filled dough balls in a 9x9 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper, cover, and let them rise for a second proofing.
9. 9In a separate clear glass bowl, cream 45g softened butter and 35g granulated sugar together with a whisk until light and fluffy, then gradually whisk in 45g beaten egg.
10. 10To the butter-sugar-egg mixture, add 10g minced garlic, 12g almond flour, 35g cake flour, and a sprinkle of dried parsley flakes, then whisk until it forms a smooth, pale yellow, slightly thick paste.
11. 11Transfer the garlic topping into a piping bag and pipe a spiral pattern onto the top of each risen dough ball in the baking pan.
12. 12Bake the pan in a preheated oven until the rolls are golden-brown, puffed up, and the topping creates a crispy crust.
13. 13Remove the pan from the oven and serve the beautifully golden-brown, puffed-up rolls warm.
