Ingredients

Roasted Garlic:

  • 8–10 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Garlic Butter Custard:

  • Roasted garlic from above
  • ½ cup butter, melted (113g)
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup milk (60g)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Assembly:

  • 12 King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sheet Rolls, kept in the full sheet form (or replace with a French baguette of similar size)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Chopped parsley and chili flakes for serving

Instructions

  1. Roast Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the peeled garlic cloves with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place them in a small oven-safe pot with a lid or cover tightly with foil and bake for about 20 minutes until the garlic cloves are soft and golden. Remove and mash them with a fork; set aside.
  2. Prepare Garlic Butter Custard: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed roasted garlic, melted butter, egg, milk, salt, paprika, and chopped parsley. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is fully blended and smooth.
  3. Toast Bread: Adjust the oven temperature down to 350°F. Using a sharp knife, slice the full sheet of King’s Hawaiian rolls into two equal halves horizontally. Place the halves cut-side up on a large baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until they turn light golden and develop a crispy texture.
  4. Dip Bread in Custard: Pour the garlic butter custard into a larger pan to allow easy dipping. Carefully dip each toasted bread half into the custard, ensuring all sides are well coated with the rich mixture.
  5. Bake the Custard-Soaked Bread: Return the coated bread halves to the baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes, or until the bread itself turns golden and fragrant.
  6. Broil with Cheese: Remove the bread from the oven and evenly spread the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Switch the oven to broil (or grill) setting and broil for about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts, bubbles, and develops a golden color.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and chili flakes over the cheesy garlic bread. Slice into individual servings, serve warm, and enjoy this irresistibly flavorful treat!

Notes

  • The King’s Hawaiian rolls can be substituted with a French baguette of similar size if preferred.
  • For a spicier kick, add extra chili flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter custard.
  • Make sure to watch the bread carefully while broiling to avoid burning the cheese.
  • This bread is best served warm fresh from the oven for optimal texture and flavor.
