Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 large Egg
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, warm the milk and butter together until the butter has melted. Let it cool slightly until it is warm to the touch but not hot (about 110°F).
Pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Crack in the egg, then mix to form a dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for kneading (5-7 minutes).
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 20 equal pieces.
Flatten each piece of dough slightly, place a small portion of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center, and pinch the edges together to form a ball.
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or pie dish with cooking spray.
Arrange the cheese-filled dough balls in the pan, placing them close together to form a circular pattern.
In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the dough balls.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let the dough rise again for 20-30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the Cheesy Bubble Round in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Allow it to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for the best gooey, cheesy pull-apart experience.
