2ΒΎ cups (344 g) all-purpose flour πΎ
1 teaspoon kosher salt π§
Β½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces, room temperature π§
Β½ tablespoon unsalted butter, melted π§
Filling:

Instructions
1οΈβ£ In a medium bowl, combine the warmed milk and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the milk and whisk to blend. Let sit until the yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes. π₯£
2οΈβ£ Add the eggs to the yeast mixture and whisk until smooth. π₯
3οΈβ£ In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, the flour, and the salt. π
4οΈβ£ Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture. With the mixer running, add butter, 1 piece at a time, blending well between additions. Knead on medium speed for 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium-high and knead until the dough is soft, about 5 minutes. (Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, if the dough doesn’t come together.) π
5οΈβ£ Brush a medium bowl with some melted butter. Place the dough in the bowl and brush the top with the remaining melted butter. Cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in size, about 1 hour. β³
6οΈβ£ Once the dough has risen, punch it down, turn it out onto a floured surface, and roll it into a 10Γ15-inch rectangle (about ΒΌ-inch thick). π
7οΈβ£ Spray a 9Γ13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. π§΄
8οΈβ£ Spread the pesto over the dough. Top with parmesan, feta, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella. πΏπ§
9οΈβ£ Roll the dough up tightly, starting on the long edge. Using a very sharp knife, cut the log into 12 rolls. Place them into the prepared baking dish. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 40 minutes. πͺ
π While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). π₯
1οΈβ£1οΈβ£ Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. β³
1οΈβ£2οΈβ£ To make the butter topping, combine the melted butter with the garlic and salt in a small bowl. Brush the buttery topping over the warm rolls and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve warm. ππ§
