# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Mix peeled garlic cloves with olive oil and salt. Transfer to a small oven-safe dish with a lid or cover with foil. Bake for approximately 20 minutes until cloves are soft and golden. Remove from oven, mash with a fork, and set aside.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed roasted garlic, melted butter, egg, milk, salt, paprika, and chopped parsley. Whisk thoroughly until well incorporated.
03 -
Reduce oven temperature to 175°C (350°F). With a sharp knife, slice the sheet of bread rolls horizontally into two halves. Place on a large baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
04 -
Transfer the garlic butter custard to a wide, shallow dish. Carefully dip each bread half into the custard, ensuring all sides are well coated.
05 -
Return the coated bread to the baking sheet and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
06 -
Cover the bread with shredded mozzarella cheese. Switch oven to broil setting and broil for approximately 5 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
07 -
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and chili flakes. Slice into portions and serve immediately while hot and cheese is still stretchy.
# Notes:
01 -
A French baguette of similar size can be substituted for Hawaiian rolls if preferred.

For best results, serve immediately while cheese is hot and melted.
