5 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided 🍚
2 teaspoons active dry yeast 🍞
2 large eggs, room temperature πŸ₯šπŸ₯š
2¾ cups (344 g) all-purpose flour 🌾
1 teaspoon kosher salt πŸ§‚
½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces, room temperature 🧈
½ tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 🧈
Filling:

1 jar (6.5 ounces) pesto 🌿
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated πŸ§€
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled πŸ§€
1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped πŸ₯¬
1 jar (7 ounces) oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped πŸ…
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded πŸ§€
Garlic Butter Topping:

3 tablespoons butter, melted 🧈
1 teaspoon garlic, minced πŸ§„
1 teaspoon kosher salt πŸ§‚
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated and sprinkled on top πŸ§€


Instructions

1️⃣ 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. πŸ₯£

2️⃣ Add the eggs to the yeast mixture and whisk until smooth. πŸ₯„

3️⃣ In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, the flour, and the salt. 🍚

4️⃣ 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.) 🍞

5️⃣ 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. ⏳

6️⃣ Once the dough has risen, punch it down, turn it out onto a floured surface, and roll it into a 10Γ—15-inch rectangle (about ΒΌ-inch thick). πŸ”„

7️⃣ Spray a 9Γ—13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. 🧴

8️⃣ Spread the pesto over the dough. Top with parmesan, feta, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella. πŸŒΏπŸ§€

9️⃣ 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. πŸ”ͺ

πŸ”Ÿ While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). πŸ”₯

1️⃣1️⃣ Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. ⏳

1️⃣2️⃣ 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. πŸžπŸ§„
