Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium dinner rolls
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (113 grams) butter, melted
- 1 egg
Dairy and Flavoring Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Seasoning and Herbs:
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic or garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Whip softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until silky and uniform. Incorporate sugar, blending thoroughly, then gradually mix in heavy cream until the filling achieves a luxurious, smooth consistency.
- Carefully slice dinner rolls into 6-8 connected wedges, maintaining the base integrity to preserve structural stability.
- Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag, then methodically fill each wedge, ensuring comprehensive and even distribution throughout the rolls.
- Create a robust garlic butter emulsion by whisking melted butter with egg and milk. Enhance the mixture by stirring in minced garlic and freshly chopped parsley for heightened aromatic complexity.
- Submerge each filled roll into the prepared garlic butter mixture, allowing the liquid to penetrate deeply between the wedges and infuse maximum flavor.
- Arrange the coated rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Optional: Dust the surface with Parmesan cheese for an additional flavor dimension.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes until the rolls transform into a golden, crispy delicacy with enticing visual and textural appeal.
Notes
- Personalize your Korean bread by experimenting with different fillings like sweet red bean paste or savory meat mixtures.
- Make-ahead tip: Prepare the rolls and filling up to a day in advance, refrigerate, and bake just before serving for maximum freshness.
- Storing leftovers works best in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
