In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and dry active yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the bowl, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic butter by combining the minced garlic, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches in size.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
Cut the dough into long strips and then into squares, about 3x3 inches each.
Stack the squares and arrange them vertically in a greased loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it. Serve warm and enjoy!
