Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of yeast and 2 teaspoons of sugar.
- Warm the 3/4 cup of milk until it is lukewarm (about 100-110°F or 37-43°C). Pour the warm milk over the yeast and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Melt 1/4 cup (55g) of butter and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the frothy yeast mixture, 1 teaspoon of salt, the melted butter, and 1 egg. Mix well.
- Gradually add flour to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. You may need about 2.5 to 3 cups of all-purpose flour. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Grate 3 cups of mozzarella cheese and combine it with 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle (about 12x18 inches).
- Spread the remaining 1/4 cup (55g) of softened butter evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
- Starting at one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
- Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a ring, pinching the ends together to seal.
- Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, make cuts along the outer edge of the ring, about 2-3 inches apart, cutting most of the way through but not all the way to the center. Gently pull the sections outward, slightly twisting them to expose the layers.
- Bake the wreath in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until it is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Remove the wreath from the oven and brush it with melted butter if desired.
- Allow the cheesy garlic bread wreath to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
Tips:
- Ensure your yeast is fresh and active by proofing it in warm milk with sugar before adding it to the dough.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to your cheese filling.
- Brush the bread with melted butter before baking to achieve a golden, crispy crust.
- Let the bread cool slightly before serving to allow the cheese to set, making it easier to pull apart.
Your cheesy garlic bread wreath is now ready to serve! With its appealing presentation and irresistible flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you're hosting a party or simply enjoying a cozy night in, this delectable dish will add a touch of festivity and joy to any gathering. Enjoy your culinary creation!
