In a small mixing bowl, combine the yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, and water. Give a stir and set aside for 5 minutes. Scald milk in a separate pan or bowl, and add 6 tablespoons of cold butter to it. Set aside. This will melt the butter and cool the milk down all at the same time. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the minced garlic. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt, milk and melted butter mixture, and the yeast. Mix and knead the dough on low speed with a dough hook, if using a mixer, for up to 3 minutes. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, covered. This allows the dough to gain more strength and elasticity. Brush a small amount of the melted butter with garlic in the bottom of a 9" by 9" baking dish. Cut the dough into halves until you have 16 small or 8 large rolls. Gently roll the dough in a ball shape. (It may not be perfect round shapes.) Place in the butter covered baking dish. Brush the remaining butter and garlic on top of the rolls. Sprinkle with the grated and shredded Parmesan cheese. Allow the rolls to rise in a draft free zone, until doubled in size. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees oven on the bottom shelf for 23-25 minutes. Gently cover the top of the rolls with aluminum foil about half way through to prevent the tops from over browning while they are continuing to bake for the rest of the time. Enjoy!
