In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, granulated sugar, and fine sea salt. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds to combine the dry ingredients.

Add the warm whole milk, large egg, spicy mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until a shaggy dough forms, then increase speed to medium-low and mix until the dough comes together, about 2-3 minutes.

Continue kneading the dough in the stand mixer for 8-10 minutes, or turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until the dough is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky. It should pass the windowpane test.

Lightly grease a large mixing bowl with olive oil. Place the kneaded dough in the bowl, turning once to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release the air. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal portions. For best results, use a kitchen scale to ensure each portion weighs approximately 79 grams.

Take one dough portion and, using a rolling pin, roll it out into an elongated, flat shape, roughly 8-10 inches long and 3-4 inches wide, with one end slightly wider than the other (like a long triangle or oval). Place one cold piece of unsalted butter onto the wider end of the flattened dough.

Tightly roll the dough from the wider end (where the butter is) towards the pointed end, creating a crescent or spiral shape, similar to a croissant. Pinch the seam closed to prevent the butter from leaking during baking. Repeat with the remaining dough portions and butter pieces.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the shaped rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving ample space between them. Using a spray bottle, lightly mist the rolls with water, then generously sprinkle Himalayan pink salt over the tops. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes, or until visibly puffy.

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Once the rolls have completed their second rise, bake them in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Remove the baked rolls from the oven. While still warm, brush the tops generously with the 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.
