Prepare Tangzhong: In a small saucepan, whisk together Tangzhong ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a thick paste forms (about 5-7 minutes). Let cool completely.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine Tangzhong, Dough ingredients. Knead with the dough hook for 8-10 minutes until a very smooth and elastic dough forms.
Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1.5-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
While dough rises, prepare Browned Butter Garlic Spread: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and stir in garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Let cool slightly.
Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope about 6-8 inches long.
Tie each rope into a simple knot.
Place knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush generously with Browned Butter Garlic Spread.
Cover and let rise for another 45 minutes.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with remaining Browned Butter Garlic Spread immediately after baking.
Serve warm.
