Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of instant yeast. Mix the dry ingredients well. Make a well in the center and pour in 1 cup of warm milk, 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, and 1/3 cup of warm water. Stir until a messy dough forms.
  2. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Filling Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Mix until well blended and allow the mixture to sit.
Rolling and Shaping
  1. After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Spread the garlic butter mixture over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle a layer of grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  3. Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a log. Slice into 8-10 equal pieces and place each slice into a greased muffin tin, standing vertically.
  4. Cover the muffin tin and let the cruffins rest for about 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Baking
  1. Bake the muffin tin in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until deep golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  2. Once baked, remove the cruffins from the oven and let cool slightly in the tin for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
