Add 1/2 cup of room temperature milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar into a bowl.

Mix in 1 teaspoon of yeast into the milk and sugar mixture.

Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

Crack in 1 egg and mix everything together until combined.

If the dough is too sticky, add an additional 1/2 cup of flour and knead for about 5 minutes.

Knead in 1/4 cup of melted butter for about 15 minutes until the dough is the right consistency.

Spray oil into a bowl, place the dough in it, and roll it around to coat.

Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 1 hour until it has risen.

After resting, take the dough out and knead it for another 2 minutes to form a ball.

Quarter the dough and roll each piece into a ball.

Place the dough balls onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper and let them rest for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the dough balls in the oven for 20 minutes.

While the bread is baking, prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing 227 grams of Philadelphia cream cheese with 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/4 cup of whipping cream until smooth.

Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a makeshift piping bag made from a plastic ziplock bag.

For the garlic butter sauce, melt 2/3 cup of butter in the microwave.

Add 1/4 cup of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of condensed milk to the melted butter, then mix well.

Add in one egg and some fresh parsley to the garlic butter sauce and mix until combined.

Carefully cut into the baked bread without cutting all the way through.

Pipe the cream cheese filling into the cuts of the bread.

Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the bread.

Return the bread to the oven for another 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
