Add lukewarm water to a bowl.

Add salt, sugar, and yeast to the water and stir until dissolved.

Add soft butter to the mixture.

Add all-purpose flour and combine to form a shaggy mass of dough.

Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and knead for 10 to 12 minutes until soft and supple.

Divide the dough into six equal parts, each about 88 grams.

Shape each part into a round ball and cover with a damp cloth.

Flatten each dough ball into a rectangular sheet, roll it up, and pinch the edges.

Place the shaped dough onto a greased baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Grease a sharp knife with oil or butter and make a deep slash through the center of each dough piece.

Wrap the dough with plastic film and let it proof for 60 to 70 minutes.

Prepare the topping by mixing chopped parsley, finely chopped garlic, a pinch of salt, and shredded mozzarella cheese.

After proofing, brush the dough with egg wash for a golden brown crust and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Top the center of each dough piece with the cheese mixture.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes.
