Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)

In a saucepan, heat ¾ cup (180 ml) milk along with sugar on low heat until it dissolves. Remove from heat, add yeast and set aside while the yeast activates.2. In a large bowl, beat eggs along with sour cream and remaining ½ cup (125 ml) milk. Add contents of saucepan, melted butter and salt while stirring with a whisk.3. Add both flours while stirring with a wooden spoon. Finish by adding flours by hand until dough no longer sticks to fingers. Knead dough for a few minutes on a floured surface.4. Set dough ball in a large buttered bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest away from drafts until dough has doubled in size, about 45 minutes.5. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to spread the dough out to a thickness of ½˝ (1 cm). Brush with alfredo sauce, and top with bacon, parsley and Brick cheese.6. Roll dough onto itself over the filling. Cut roll into 12 to 15 slices and lay flat in a buttered, oven-safe rectangular dish. Bake for 35 minutes or until golden. Serve hot or cold.
