In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Add the warm water, warm milk, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
Place the rolls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking pan, leaving some space between them. Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and allow the rolls to rise again for 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter with minced garlic.
Brush the garlic butter evenly over the tops of the rolls.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the warm rolls. Let the cheese melt naturally from the residual heat.
Optionally, garnish the rolls with chopped parsley for a pop of color and additional flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
