In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, and yeast.
Heat the warm water and 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted and the temperature reaches 110Β°F (43Β°C).
Gradually pour the warm butter mixture into the flour mixture while stirring until combined.
Add the salt, then mix in the remaining 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8β10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into roughly 1-inch balls (you should have about 25β30 balls).
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it with the olive oil, garlic powder, parsley, and 1.5 cups of shredded Asiago cheese.
Dip each dough ball into the butter-cheese mixture, ensuring even coating.
Arrange the coated balls in a greased Bundt pan or springform pan, layering them evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Asiago cheese over the top.
Cover with a towel and let rise again for 30β40 minutes, until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Bake the bread for 25β30 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate.
Serve warm and enjoy!
