Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy (this ensures the yeast is activated).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
3. Add the egg, softened butter, and yeast mixture, then mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. (Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.)
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Mixture

1. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano (if using), and chili flakes.
2. Stir in the chopped green onions. Set aside.

Step 3: Shape the Bread

1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle (about 12×8 inches) on a floured surface.
2. Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the dough.
3. Roll the dough tightly from the shorter end, forming a log.
4. Place the rolled dough into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan, seam side down.
5. Cover with a towel and let it rise for another 20 minutes.

Step 4: Bake the Bread

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Brush the top of the loaf with extra garlic butter for a golden, flavorful crust.
3. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
4. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

1. Slice and serve warm with extra butter or a side of soup.
2. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
