Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch pan; set aside.

In a stand mixer bowl, combine all-purpose flour, parsley, sugar, instant yeast, and fine sea salt. Add the warmed milk, room temperature egg, and 4 1/2 tablespoons melted butter mixed with 2 tablespoons minced garlic. Knead on low speed with a dough hook until dough is smooth and tacky, about 10–12 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until workable.

Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and divide evenly into 12 portions. Roll each into a ball and arrange in the prepared 9x13 inch baking pan.

Cover and let rise again until the rolls are puffy and touching, about 30–45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg. Bake 20–30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

While baking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Stir in 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and mix in 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.

Immediately after baking, brush hot rolls with prepared garlic butter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Serve warm.
