In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it is lukewarm (about 110°F or 43°C). Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and garlic powder. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
Pour the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten egg into the well in the flour. Stir together until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface to form a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Sprinkle the shredded low sodium cheese evenly over the dough, then roll the dough into a log, starting from the longer side of the rectangle.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them, cut side up, in a lightly greased baking pan.
Cover the shaped rolls with the damp cloth again and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Before baking, brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the cheese bread rolls are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
