Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 10 Dinner rolls or Burger buns (store-bought or homemade)

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 1 cup Cream cheese, softened
  • 1.5 tbsp Caster sugar

Garlic Butter

  • 1/2 cup Butter (salted butter used)
  • 1/3 cup Milk (full-fat milk used)
  • 1 tbsp Caster sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 7–8 cloves Garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp Parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a Silpat mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and 1.5 tablespoons of caster sugar. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this filling aside for later use.
  3. Slice the Bread: Take each dinner roll and carefully cut it into 6 to 8 wedges, being cautious not to slice all the way through the bottom. This creates deep crevices to hold the filling.
  4. Fill the Rolls: Using a piping bag with the tip snipped off, fill the crevices of each segmented roll thoroughly with the sweetened cream cheese mixture. Ensure each roll is generously filled for maximum flavor.
  5. Make Garlic Butter Mixture: Melt the butter in a bowl. Add the milk, caster sugar, eggs, finely minced garlic, and chopped parsley to the melted butter. Stir well to combine all the ingredients into a smooth garlic butter sauce.
  6. Dip the Rolls: Dunk each filled roll into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring the filling and crevices are coated. Allow any excess butter to drip off before placing the rolls on the prepared baking tray.
  7. Bake the Bread: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes at 200°C until the rolls become crispy and golden brown on the outside.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes to allow the filling to set slightly. Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, garlicky goodness.
  9. Storage: Store any leftover bread tightly wrapped in aluminum foil or in an airtight container. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days for best freshness.

Notes

  • Make sure not to cut the rolls completely through so that the filling does not spill out during baking.
  • Use a piping bag or a small spoon to fill the crevices evenly with cream cheese for the best texture and taste.
  • For a stronger garlic flavor, use fresh minced garlic rather than garlic powder.
  • Serve warm for the best taste and texture; reheating can be done briefly in an oven or toaster oven.
  • This recipe is versatile: substitute dinner rolls with burger buns or other soft bread if desired.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated but are best eaten within 2 days to retain freshness and flavor.
