Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 3 cups of flour, 2 tbsp of yeast, 1 tsp of sugar, and 1 tsp of salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add 1 cup of warm water and 2 tbsp of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the cheese and herb mixture.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of melted butter, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp of finely chopped fresh parsley. Mix well and set aside.
- Shred 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and crumble 1/3 cup of feta cheese. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt pan or a loaf pan.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls (about the size of a golf ball).
- Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, roll the butter-coated dough ball into a mixture of the shredded mozzarella and crumbled feta cheese.
- Place the cheese and butter-coated dough balls into the greased pan, layering them as you go.
- Pour any remaining garlic butter mixture and cheese over the top of the dough balls in the pan.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing it.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, cheesy garlic bread pull-apart!
Tips:
- Ensure the yeast is active.: Make sure your yeast is still active before you start. You can do this by dissolving it in warm water with a pinch of sugar and waiting for it to become foamy.
- Use freshly grated cheese.: For the best melt and texture, use freshly grated mozzarella and feta cheeses instead of pre-shredded varieties.
- Don't overbake.: Keep an eye on the bread as it bakes. Overbaking can cause the bread to become too dry. It’s ready when the top is golden brown, and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve immediately.: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the cheese is hot and melty.
- Experiment with herbs.: Feel free to add other herbs like thyme or rosemary for a twist on the classic garlic and parsley combination.
There you have it—a delicious cheesy garlic bread pull-apart that’s sure to delight your friends and family. With its fragrant garlic butter, gooey melted cheese, and soft, pull-apart bread, this recipe offers a mouthwatering experience that will leave everyone reaching for more. Enjoy!
